The Swarming Ground

The Swarming Ground is located on the north side of the Flare Line, across from Spinecastle. This area is infested with giant ant lions, making the construction of fortifications very hazardous. These creatures are smaller than others of their type (only six hit dice) and live in a soil type which is not normal for their species. Excavations regularly unearth ant lion nests, and the creatures are very aggressive. For this reason, construction work here is patchy and this is a real hole in the Flare Line.

Jelleneth favors posting extra magical firepower to blast the ant lions when they are found, and seeks to hire mages to do so. The cost of this effort is prohibitive. Inventive adventurers finding an alternative solution to this problem would find Jelleneth most appreciative of their efforts!
