\nRecently,gith nomads discovered the Face in theStone,an old temple northeast of Tyr.Within theshrine,the gith found doors that bore runes referringto the relic of Ul-Athra,an entity also known as theDust Kraken or the Mouths of Thirst.While trying toopen the doors,the gith were attacked by creaturesin the temple.The surviving nomads fled and madefor the base of the raider lord Yarnath the Skull,hoping that he would reward their discovery.However,before the gith could reach Slither,Yarnath's crawlingcitadel,a sandstorm caught them unprotected in thedesert and slew them.  \nLater,Yarnath's raiders found fragments of ajournalamong the nomads'remains and pieced together whatthe gith had found,but the bandits did not know thelocation of the ruin.In addition,they found hints thatthe sandstorm that killed the gith was unnatural.  \nIntrigued,Yarnath became determined to find theFace in the Stone and its mysterious relic.He turned hisattention to merchant caravans that passed through thearea,hoping to force caravaneers to give up the loca-tion of the ruin.Unfortunately for the raider lord,so fareveryone has been ignorant of the old temple.  \nInterior
