    \_|                      Lake of Tich'Pyga                          |
      |                                                                 |
      |  In a time when magic flowed less harnessed throughout the      |
      |  realms, races warred with one another in alarmingly            |
      |  conventional fashion. Blood from these melees stained fields   |
      |  red. The horrible clashes took their toll upon countless       |
      |  civilizations.                                                 |
      |                                                                 |
      |  One society beseeched its gods to provide it protection from   |
      |  such genocide, and the request was granted...but at a cost.    |
      |  Whereas for some the cost of continued survival is the         |
      |  scattering of a people across the face of the lands or         |
      |  consumption by another greater force, this once thriving       |
      |  market village forfeited all future prosperity and fame for    |
      |  that one obscure concept that none truly understand: Peace.    |
      |                                                                 |
      |  But nature requires balance, and peace is always uneasy. What  |
      |  buried perils still lie within the borders of the serene loch  |
      |  Tich'Pyga?                                                     |
      |                                                                 |
      |                                                                 |
