The Lost Hoard was rumored to be a legendary treasure hidden in the wilds of Amusa. In reality it was a crashed Mind Flayer ship holding untold horrors.
About[edit | edit source]
The Lost Hoard was buried deep below the earth under Wyvern's Roost. The crater's inhabitants had built a temple around its entrance, but the interiors were made of cold and sleek metal. The ship was designed to be able to travel between the planes and carried an army of dormant Mind Flayers in its hull. The ship was controlled by an Mind Flayer experiment known as The Overmind
