The Caverns of Muhanlesh can be found by entering a shallow hole above a smelly pit in the Southern Mountains. It is the site of an ancient experiment that was closed down by the Holy Celestine Empire. Creatures that live there are called nagaradja and their strange origins can be traced back to the time of the Taint. Rumour has it that some mugwump scientists have returned to the caverns to re-open the research facilities.

Notable Denizens

  • Nagahala, mother of the Naga - Slime and algae cover the serpentine body of Nagahala, coating her entire form in a shell of noxious fumes.

Dark wisps of corporeal shadows cling to her, dancing along her body in several tangents of malignant whispers. Nagahala, mother of the naga appears to be extraordinarily strong. She weighs about 625 pounds.
  • Melpith Saelth - He is a small mugwump man, with a thinning line of scales that line the edges of his face. A constant look of contempt draws itself on his facial features, as though he were disgusted with something. A white robe, tattered and spoiled by various liquids, adorns his body in haggard abandonment, complimenting the foul stench that lingers about him. Melpith Saelth looks to be crushingly strong. He weighs about 181 pounds. He has a moderate weakness to fire damage. He has a slight resistance to asphyxiation damage. He has a moderate weakness to electrical damage.
  • Etilla Leihm - Several robes adorn Etilla's body, each one dirtier than the other. The smells of caustic fluids linger about her, and her eyes mimic the caustic acid as they squint at what she is observing. Her hair is pulled up into a tight bun, causing her face to take on a feature of shock as her skin stretches towards the bun. Etilla Leihm looks to be crushingly strong. She weighs about 181 pounds.

Flora and Fauna

  • a demonic nagakali - Several scales of multicolored hues reflect what light they can, running along the body of the nagakali. Four arms sit on either side of its body, two on the right and two on the left. Each arm extends out into taloned nails that glitter with fresh blood. A swan like neck rises from its shoulders, snaking up into a hooded mane of scales that mimic the evanescent sheen of its body. A long serpentine tail protrudes from behind it, adding to the foreboding danger this creature could present. A demonic nagakali is quite powerful. He weighs about 175 pounds.
  • a demented, monstrous nagameth - A constant shroud of preternatural darkness clings to the nagameth, its massive size causing the shroud to bask about it like a twisted aura. Its eyes, however, cast a brilliant pastel purple glow about its large face and illuminates the serpentine features. A large hood sits on the back its head,flaring out in a display of dangerous power. Three large and robust arms sit on either side of its body, each one ending in an array of talon-like nails that glisten with fresh blood. Its serpentine tail stretches out from behind it, glistening with a deep violet purple that only accentuates the dangerous and lethal nature of the nagameth. A demented, monstrous nagameth appears to be extraordinarily strong. He weighs about 193 pounds.
