The gnoll warlord Karag was granted visions of a lost and razed desert temple that contained a portal that could be opened to the Abyss with the right rituals. The temple was dedicated to an ancient evil ally of Yeenoghu, whom the gnoll demon then turned upon and imprisoned. Karag gathered his followers and set out to find the temple, leaving a trail of corpses and destruction in their wake. Karag had slaves and lesser members of the gnoll pack clear the debris and open the way to the underlevel directly, ignoring the ruined temple above with the intent of learning the rituals from the visions in order to invoke the might of Yeenoghu directly upon the world.
However, before Karag could complete this plan, the gnoll was challenged by a rival flind warlord named Gnarsh. Gnarsh had heard of Karag’s vision and coveted the gnoll’s power, treasure, and the favour of Yeenoghu. Gnarsh gathered their own army of gnolls and attacked the dungeon. A fierce battle ensued, filling the dungeon with the sounds of gnashing teeth, clashing metal, and howling rage. In the end, Gnarsh remained along with a few servitors. But lacking the visions of Karag, Gnarsh could do nothing more than rage at the portal, unable to breach into the abyss to either assist or attempt to spit in the eye of Yeenoghu.
Today the aged and greying giant flind lives in the chamber on the upper left side of the circular chamber, with a pair of hellhounds chained to the alcoves on each side. A few gnolls still wander these chambers, and a small priesthood has grown up around the secret of the portal in the swirling red pool on the lower left – a chamber that Garsh actively ignores now in anger and frustration.
The 1200 dpi versions of the map were drawn at a scale of 300 pixels per square and are 7,200 pixels (24 squares) wide. To use this with a VTT you would need to resize the squares to either 70 pixels (for 5′ squares) or 140 pixels (for the recommended 10‘ foot squares that make sense with this design) – so resizing the image to 1,680 pixels or 3,360 pixels wide, respectively.
