In Spire Of The Raven God, the adventurers will aid a female gold dragon in ridding the land of a black vrock demon lord and its minions from a rock spire in the area. The spire, called the Stairway of the Gods, was once a place for many races of the land to worship various deities in peace.
The harmonious land of Elleron was disrupted when the demon lord, Varnaku, and its minions seized the spire to use to their own ends as a base of nefarious operations and a den of evil practices. From their newly acquired spire, the cult and their vrock lord have launched a reign of terror on the settlements of the surrounding countryside.
The black vrock demon lord had been summoned by the wizard known ax Zarin, who lives in the town of Buckshire. Zarin was using an ancient gate chamber that is located in the spire. Foolishly, the wizard wanted to test a new banishment spell on a real, live subject. Instead of a common vrock, he accidentally gated in a demon lord! Varnaku broke control from the wizard before he had a chance to banish the fiend. The wizard was instead captured by demon minions gated in by Varnaku. The minions then took the wizard through the nearby gate into the realm ruled by the greater goddess Kali.
