The Temple of Sondar Thaj lies in the heart of the Marsh of Desolation. In fact, some corrupted artifact or cursed entity within the temple is said to be responsible for the lingering malaise that seems to hang over that swamp. Legends say that it is the resting place of the Crown of Sondar Thaj, one of the draconic artifacts used in the ancient war against the fi end-spawn of Khyber.
