PRAESIGIRA

In the far reaches to the North, where the Sea of Stars meets its end, dark waves lap upon
the shores of gold. Few have been to such a place, and fewer still would speak its name.
The island of ten thousand crowns, or so they say. Riches beyond your wildest dreams,
there for the taking. Yet this place finds itself inked on no map. Charted by no captain. Sung
of by no bards in the tavern firelight. The golden shores of Rathma are not something people
will so readily discuss. Those who have actually seen the twisted land find themselves mute
upon its mention. They speak only cryptic warnings of things so absurd, you’d have to be a
madman to conceive them. A civilization long thought dead. The King of Ash, presiding over
a tribal society. Gnarled pools of twisting organisms. Monsters that would drain a man dry of
blood within seconds. Then, there’s the most outlandish of them all. The living tsunami. The
monstrosity so large it could snap a ship in two with a single claw as though it were a mere
splinter. The protector goddess of the golden shores. Praesigira. As if something so
outlandish could actually exist. Surely the only reason this island paradise has not been
conquered is because it simply doesn’t exist. Or, does it? Remember when I said this exotic
locale has found no purchase inked on parchment? I lied. For there was one man, one
absolutely broken man, who came back from the edge of the world. He hasn’t said a word
since he washed up on shore. He simply trembles, eyes bulging, frantically looking in all
directions. Clutched In his hand as his wretched form met the docks? A finely crafted scrap
of lambskin. Written on its surface, the forbidden location of a place that doesn’t exist. For a
mere fifty gold pieces, it can be yours.

Parasites.
Praesigira’s body acts as host to a collective of blood worms. At the end
of Praesigira’s turn, 2 (1d4) parasites emerge from Praesigira’s tough
shell. They appear in a space that is within 10 feet of Praesigira. If no
space is available, they fail to appear. They are considered part of the
CR calculation for Praesigira, and therefore yield no experience points
unless encountered independent of Praesigira host. These parasites act
on the same initiative as Praesigira, and have the following statistics.
