A city of poisons, insects, and death, Rhakros is the domain of the Plague Lord Lisirra and her Plague Bearer servants. In this dank jungle city, poisons and their antidotes are akin to spices, and unwary travelers are often used as unwitting test subjects. But for those with the wit to learn, this city can provide surprising opportunities and rewards.
