Backdrop: The Ring of Storms
by Keith Baker
The land of Xen’drik holds many secrets, wonders long forgotten by the children of the modern age.

Xen’drik also hosts the ruins of a mysterious sect of long-lost elves called the Qabalrin, whose shattered cities lie within the mysterious Ring of Storms. An Eberron backdrop of Exploration and Doom straight from the setting’s creator!
