One of the largest and most recent structures in the Spellscar Desert is an estate built by the Nexian transmuter Ancren (deceased N male human transmuter 9). Predicting a moment of intense earth magic, Ancren raised the stone of the fortified estate in a single night. After the magic departed, the estate remained, and Ancren soon outfitted it with sumptuous luxuries from his homeland. Although the estate’s walls were wide and tall, Ancren dramatically underestimated how appealing such a fortification would be to Spellscar inhabitants. He was besieged in his estate within a month, and a mutated gnoll warlord named Kagati finally fought through his guards and defenses. Now known as Kagati Wizard-Eater, the gnoll has entrenched her position in Ancren’s Estate and turned the courtyard into something of an open market welcoming wasteland denizens.
Kagati’s Clan:
Most followers of the mutated gnoll warlord Kagati Wizard-Eater (NE female gnoll warlord 9) are her blood relatives. All bear Kagati’s patchy brown-and-orange fur, but none have her hulking musculature, four arms, or keen organizational skills. Yet her “clan,” as they call themselves, also consists of other humanoid mutants who serve the warlord in exchange for spoils and protection. Operating out of a fortified estate created years ago by a short-sighted wizard, Kagati’s clan seeks to dominate the Spellscar Desert not with open warfare, but with alliances of convenience and calculated strikes against enemy leaders. Kagati knows that to share spoils is to earn allies, and she often sets up “market days” where anyone can come to trade, carouse, or swear allegiance.
