Stand on a hillside, and you can feel the world remembering themselves, remembering the smell of grass that is no longer there.

However, things are not quite what they seem and the demon the party destroys in the first act may be something quite different from what they are led to believe. The adventure is designed to be placed into any setting, though it does present a city, Par-Lar Dur, and some locations that can be modified to meet many needs.
