City of Gold, Part 1: A Solo Adventure site for Forbidden Lands

Published: 2023
Author: Per Holmström

Legend speaks of a man that once ruled a city of gold. Feared by many, the man, and his cohort of five were studying the unknown realms of sorcery and demons, and as the nexus opened, their curiosity could not be tamed. Venturing through a nexus into the unknown worlds beyond, they returned with riches beyond this world, but they were also… transformed. As they were reunited with their home, the people were transformed with them. With the help of a powerful artifact, they forged a temple, a pathway to another realm. This temple would reflect the morning sun, opening a gate to their newfound world. It is said that only with the staff of Xigesh – the orb of the reptile, could you see the path to the city of gold. Shortly after its creation, the city fell into chaos. Horrible abominations and demons, ravaged the streets, killing men, women, and children alike. Today, nothing but the legend remains. Some say that the temple was hidden in the darkest forests of Ravenland, forgotten in time. Perhaps the time is yours to find the long-lost fabled city of gold and claim its riches.
