Column of Light

An Adventure for 8th Level Characters

Overview

A woman named Galinda Kowo (NG female Turami human commoner) from Noanar's Hold was out and about recently, collecting mushrooms and berries. When it grew late and dark, she saw a column of light erupting far to the east.
If the characters visit Galinda to acquire more information, she treats them to some crackers and cherry marmalade. Galinda can show the characters on a map roughly where she saw the phenomenon but cannot help otherwise.

Background

The column of light is a magic beacon, originally intended to assemble priests and officials. The creators and their kingdom have long since died, but one guardian naga named Jihiri remained, residing over the ancient ruins. After two spirit nagas invaded its home, Jihiri activated the beacon to call for help while being eaten alive by the enemy. Since then, the beacon burns, attracting adventurers like moths to a flame.
Now, the spirit nagas have made the ruins their home and consume Jihiri’s body whenever it comes back to life. They have grown fat and enjoy this carefree life.
