The air hangs heavy with the stench of rotting plant matter simmering in long-stagnant water. The only semblance of vegetation lies with the occasional tree corpse: grasping skeletal branches that punctuate the sallow fog. It is unclear if the mounds bobbing at the roiling surface are simply stones, natural decompositions, or something more sinister. Fighting the nauseous fumes and sucking mud with every step, one thing becomes certain: This is the place where things go to die. Through the fetid miasma emerges a large dais of carved stone reclaimed by the noxious bog. At the center, curling in a protective posture, stands a draconic statue bearing vicious horns, dagger-like teeth, and blooming wings. The stone relief’s gaunt features and cruel snarl mark it as a black dragon—a likely denizen of such an environment as this. Resting in its taloned grip lies a gemstone as dark and unending as a pool of tar. The stone is the size of two fists, each facet flashing with what little sunlight seeps through the midday haze, spilling an iridescent shimmer across the blackness like an oil slick. Upon further inspection of the dragon, the craftsmanship is immaculate—unthinkable for such fine detail to withstand nature’s harsh embrace. The eyes, in particular, fixated on the black gem, look so real the beast could spring to life at any moment.
