Lost Caverns

The Slaz'Steceks were once a highly technologically and magically advanced reptilian race. They created glorious cities that none could match and were said to have had the Nearly a century ago, the Arch-mage Izzlshyzl sent her evil minions to conquer the lands around her abode. The successful conquest brought about the subjugation of the Marches of Parrotland for a decade. Captured treasure poured into the mage's coffers to satisfy her insatiable demands for riches and items of power. According to legend, her discovery deep within the Yatil mountains caused her power to soar when magic of unsurpassed power saw the light of day. It is certain the Arch-Mage ruled her domain from the caverns while she conducted arcane experiments and rituals to further increase her power. Her success and rising magical might, eventually proved to be her downfall.

Skulking in the shadows, the demonic Iwuz, having escaped his imprisonment from castle Greyhack, watched Izzlshyzl from the shadows. Much to his delight, the Arch-Mage's arrogance gave the half-fiend the opportunity to seek revenge on his enemies. As she sought to bend the fabric of reality, to move her lair to another world, Iwuz subtly manipulated the force of her spell to send his enemies there instead. Because of his meddling, the flawed spell moved the world of Greyhack to Garweeze's Wurld and the arcane feedback slew Izzlshyzl. Sensing something was seriously wrong, Iwuz fled to his former home to hide from what he'd wrought.

Izzlshyzl resisted death long enough, to use the last of her remaining power to enscroll a trove of wondrous items that were hidden deep within the caverns. Legends say, this includes several fabled magical tomes and the powerful lamp called Daoud's Wondrous Lanthorn. What ever else may be hidden there is unknown, as no one has yet, to discover the fabled lair. That is, until now.

Dare you journey into the lost caverns of Izzlshyzl, where unknown dangers lurk in every corner and crevice?

If so, you must prepare yourself, my friend. You are about to embark on a journey into a land where magic and monsters lurk in every darkened corner. This is not a place for the meek spirited or the wuss of heart. The Garweeze Wurld™ campaign setting is a land embroiled in an epic struggle that has raged for countless eons: where the forces of evil war against those of good, where law struggles to keep chaos in check, where adventure and the art of hack are the meat and drink of all who would seek to carve their niche in such a hostile, forbidding and unforgiving environment. This is the realm of the HackMaster™ role-playing game.
