Surviving the Tomb
Syndra Silvane, a Tethyrian human archmage, was an adventurer years ago. Her father once died and was raised from the dead. He is now slowly dying and she is at a loss to help him.
"The death curse you've heard about has struck him. I don't know how much longer he'll last before he perishes. Clerics have no help to offer. They're stymied by what is happening."
"My contacts in the Harpers have learned that the cause of the death curse is a necromantic artifact called the Soulmonger. According to their sources, the Soulmonger is somewhere in Chult."
"Chult is a peninsula ringed with mountains and choked with rainforests. Enormous reptiles, savage goblins, and an army of undead prowl its jungles and ruins. Mapping the place has always been nigh impossible, and nothing is known about the region's current geography beyond a few miles from the coast."
"Working from dozens of sea charts, log books, and explorers' journals, I assembled everything known about the current state of Chult into one map. I'll provide it to you if you undertake my mission."
