The Aerilpar Mound, also known as the Mound of the Sleepless, was a mysterious mound in the center of the Aerilpar Forest in the Shining South.

It was a location that radiated magic. The origins of its magical energy were unknown but no trees grew within the encircling walls and all the predatory animals of the forest kept away.

In the blighted Aerilpar Forest, there is a grassy hill known as the Mound of the Sleepless. No trees grow on it and no monsters dare approach it. Rumour has it that beneath the bound is a labyrinthine series of tunnels where time and space seem to twist and curve. The tunnels are said to be inhabited by umber hulks, thri-kreen, ankhegs and other bug-like creatures. These creatures serve Kharapaiz, a chitinous beholder prince, who dwells in the deepest parts of the labyrinth, guarding an artefact of unimaginable power.
