Kalidnay

Kalidnay is a domain taken from Athas (Dark Sun setting). It is ruled by the High Priestess Thakok-An[1], whose defining crime was the sacrifice of her family in order to transform her Sorcerer King, Kalid-Ma, into a dragon. Instead of transforming, the King was put into a deep sleep, and half of the city's population was killed. As soon as this happened, Kalidnay was added to Ravenloft as an Island of Terror. Thakok's curse is having her beloved master at her side, as she wanted, but in a sleeping state, thus never having his favor. Worse, dissonance eats at her soul, for she is in conflict over whether keeping him to herself is greater than having his favor.[2] And in the meantime, she must eternally walk a tightrope keeping the magical ecology that keeps Kalidnay together from falling apart.[3] The doom of Kalidnay came swiftly. The city now has more empty structures than inhabitants. The survivors scavenge for food caches and other supplies in the abandoned structures. Kalidnay also has a satellite village, Artan-Ak, it relies upon for water and crops.
