• Volume 2: The second book details the underworld below the continent’s surface, plutonian settlements, 4 mid-level dungeons, 1 urban investigation adventure, and 1 high-level dungeon.
• Volume 3: The third book explores the last undescribed hex on the wilderness map (hex 10.02) that contains the legendary Castle Thar-Gannon megadungeon, its upper and lower halls, 3 mysterious towers, and 3 vast dungeon levels. It also includes the Cyclopean City of Chaos, with 14 unique tower dungeons, plus the secret entrance into the Tesseract of Time.

The 608-page third volume is designed for a heroic party of 6-8 adventurers to begin at 9th level and reach 14th level by the book’s conclusion.
