| "That
area is called the Za-Khazi Run. It is named after an ancient Vahnatai
pillar found in it, which simply said Za-Khazi. We don't know what it
means." |
| "At any rate, it is a wild and unsettled area." |
| "Exile
has settled most of the caves available to it. The Za-Khazi Run,
however, has not been touched. This is because it is filled with many
powerful creatures, both malevolent and benign, who have made it their
home." |
| "Demons. Undead. Rogue sliths. It is even rumored that a dragon lives in the Run, though we know little in truth." |

— Halgas, wizard in residence
for Fort Goodling (The Za-Khazi Run).

| Exile
contains cities of both friendly, civilized Slithzerikai and evil,
barbarian Slithzerikai (also called sliths, a pejorative term). Exile
has fought one war with barbarian sliths already, which ended with the
assassination of their king, Sss-Thsss. |
| The
evil sliths, following their defeat, fled to lower caverns as yet
unreached by Exiles, where they united, trained, reproduced, and built
themselves up into a united, fearsome army. There, they waited with
uncharacteristic patience. |
| When
half of the Exile population returned to the surface, the slith's
opportunity presented itself. They attacked through the waterways. They
moved swiftly and with the advantage of surprise, butchering many Exile
settlers. |
| Now
the Sliths stand poised to destroy the last forts separating them from
the Great Cave and the capital of Exile. Fortunately, we still have
several options to explore to defeat them. |

Far" (The Za-Khazi Run)
|
|
| "Fort
Goodling is the center of operations for troops all throughout this
area. I direct their movements, and plan raids on the sliths. Of
course, our job is easy compared to what's happening in Fort Cavalier." |
| "As
you may have heard, Fort Cavalier, about 250 miles to the north, has
been under siege for months. The sliths keep putting on the pressure,
and unless they receive support, the fort will fall very soon. Very,
very soon. This will be a disaster." |
| "We need to carry a package to them, to help in their defense. The perils are great, as are the rewards. Do you accept?" |
|
— Commander Yale, Fort Goodling
(The Za-Khazi Run).
