ENPOLAD ENPOLADS GAME GARDEN (3281)
Growing bored of never seeing a good game, Enpolad, the Chessmaster, set his
svirfneblin crew about to remodel his famed tower using powerful magic. Walls
were torn down and plants tended as a more suitable setting was created.
Natives of the island nearby reported hearing explosions along with the
unmistakeable sound of digging.
Using his extensive knowledge of the game of chess, he created a carefully
tended and maintained garden in which participants could come and truly test
each other. After an intensive search in which he tested many applicants, the
perfect two candidates were invited for the inaugural game. Polar opposites
in their views of the world, each chose their army from Thera's legions to
take to the game garden in the ultimate battle of good versus evil. As the
game started, Enpolad realized a plot against him. Enraged, he ordered the
capture of the participants, had them imprisoned, and took control of their
'pieces' for his own study and entertainment. Visitors that have survived a
trip to the game garden report mystifying uses of magic, horrifying
manifestations of evil, and supreme beauty. It is a place of mystery, horror,
and intrigue.
