The World Snake has moved against
Helio, visiting a plague of scorpions upon the whole town, polluting
the waters and loosing Grey Horrors. Helio, not a strong power
outside of Viruelandia, but present still has noted the problem and is
irritated. Shackled by other events elsewhere in Khaas, he has made a deal
with the goddess Diora to work on the problem, since his avatar in the region was
disemboweled and spread across the Brass Mountains by creatures that
look like horses but have the fangs of lions, the tail of wyverns,
wings like manticore and the skin of the salamander.
