After finding the route to the lost city of Neruzavin, the adventurers must mount
an expedition into the vast and deadly desert region called the Parchlands,
where they hope to catch up to their treacherous former employer. Once
they brave the heat-blasted wasteland, the heroes arrive in an abandoned city at
the edge of a lake where a Great Old One slumbers. The adventurers must track
Count Lowls\'s party, recover a vile tome, activate the city\'s Star Stelae, and perform
a powerful ritual that allows them to follow the insane noble to Carcosa. Along the
way, the heroes must be careful they don\'t wake the slumbering Great Old One
or stir up the flying polyps sealed beneath the city!
