For as long as there have been tales to tell, there have been whispered warnings of hags. From legends of cruel yet wise seers prowling the fringes of civilization to cautionary tales of cursed, hate filled creatures in the form of haggardly crones, hags haunt the mythology and folk-stories of nearly every people. 

But what is the truth to these tales? Are these hideous creatures truly as abominable as their exterior indicates or are hags more than cruel, malicious monsters? Is a hag, fey, fiend, or friend?

Many tales warn of dwarves who delve too deep. Few end well. In the days of old Delzoun, Clan Battlehammer carved its stronghold into the heart of Mithril Hall, a kingdom of wealth and power. But in their ceaseless digging, they tore open a rift—a doorway to the Shadowfell. And waiting on the other side was a nightmare as black as pitch, as hateful as sin.

The Abyss is an enticing enigma within the lore of Dungeons and Dragons. Its depths unknowable. It’s animus inscrutable. A festering malignancy upon the very fiber of existence. The abyss is nihility made real. The call of the abyss has driven many a D&D character mad as they attempt to understand the plane of Chaos and Evil incarnate. And though no consensus as to its origins has ever been reached. There are two major theories that have permeated the editions of Dungeons and Dragons. These I will present thusly.

Equal in power and prowess to their metallic and chromatic cousins, Gem Dragons divorce themselves from the conflict between good and evil completely. Their scales are crystalline, their powers are psionic instead of arcane, their breath weapons are not derived from the elemental energies of the inner or material plane, but from their mental command over reality itself. Theirs are the wonders of the mind, the force of will, the brilliant light of insight, and the resounding echo of discovery—but also the desiccation of despair.

Encountering a giant can be an awe-inspiring and disorienting experience. First comes a rhythmic booming, felt more than heard, that resolves slowly into the sound of footsteps: a giant is near! Loose stones vibrate and tumble down the hillside. Trees sway, then bend aside as the colossus emerges. How can anything be that big? Is it a trick of perspective?
