Cazhaak Draal

According to the Book:

Also known as the Stonelands, this is a rocky region surrounding the ruins of an ancient hobgoblin metropolis. The city was abandoned after the daelkyr released a horde of basilisks, gorgons, and cockatrices from the depths of Khyber. The streets of the ruined city are still filled with petrified goblins and hobgoblins, although most of these statues have been shattered or eroded by the ravages of time. The monsters that ravaged the city in ancient times still dominate the region, and other strange anomalies are found here, such as petrification-resistant gargoyles and places where trees and other vegetation have become petrified.
The passage to Khyber near the center of the ruined city remains open, even after nine thousand years. Two hundred twenty years ago (778 YK), a band of medusas came up from Khyber and took possession of Cazhaak Draal, renovating a few of the buildings for their own use. The medusas have domesticated many of the other creatures in the region and have slowly expanded their power base. The city’s physical size is far larger than that of the Great Crag, but the medusas inhabit only a small part of it, and their individual lairs are often some distance apart. Over the years, they have been exploring the ruins and searching for treasures left behind by the goblinoids. However, other beasts have come from Khyber as well, and there are things hidden in Cazhaak Draal that even the medusas fear. Queen Sheshka currently leads the medusa community, styling herself as the Queen of Stone.
