Yug'Voril
Where the dwarves of Kraghammer whisper fearful
words of the duergar, so too do the duergar whisper
of Yug’Voril. Beneath the deep dwarves’ fiery kingdom, ever deeper into the heart of Exandria, there is
a miles-wide grotto coated in glowing crystal. A lake
fills the grotto, its surface so smooth and placid it
seems like a jade mirror, perfectly reflecting the light
of the crystals around it. In the middle of the lake is
an island, atop which loom the grand, austere towers
of Yug’Voril.
The clean lines and beautiful facade of the city belie its current, abominable denizens.
Thousands of years old, the builders and previous occupants have long vanished, leaving the unspoiled ruins to become home to a host of psychic, mind-eating creatures from a plane beyond the boundaries of reality. The tyrannical society of these alien creatures flourishes here, far from their cosmic pursuers, giving them the freedom to build a legion of thralls: mind-slaves whose delicious brains are allowed to remain in their bodies...until those bodies fall apart from toil.
Yug’Voril and its inhabitants fell recently under the control of the extraplanar aberration called K’Varn, before he was slain by Vox Machina. Now that the alien mind-eaters have been freed from K’Varn’s tyranny, they have reclaimed Yug’Voril as their own and have continued work on their strange and terrible plots.
