First Ritual Site

The first ritual site for summoning the Devoured that the party visited was located in the desert west of Kulah.
== Description ==
The ziggurat that contained the entrance to the ritual site was buried beneath the sands, presumably on purpose by the clan that protected it that lived nearby. There was something of a maze within in it and creatures that attacked anyone not allowed into the location. Upon completing the ritual, the location was effectively destroyed by the enormous amount of energy that very suddenly moved through the place. 
== Campaign Two ==
Upon arriving in Kulah, the party discovered that Varren had been there for some time and was forcing the citizens of Kulah to dig up the ritual site. The party went out to the site and found a village nearby that was observing the situation. They said they were descendants of crusaders who had cleared out the evil village that had been there before. Rather than intending to use the site, they sought only to protect the site from those who would use it for evil. Varren's forces were too great for them to deal with, however, so they teamed up with the party to fight them and free the slaves. The party fought the generals while the village's forces fought the armies. After their defeat, Varren himself showed up and the party forced him to flee. 
Finding themselves with precious little time to act, Kiono concocted a modified ritual that would release the Devoured, but in a way that would make him inaccessible to those who would otherwise revive him. She released his energies too quickly, however, and the area was destroyed. Meanwhile, another of Varren's men, Alain, summoned a great Thunderbird to attack the site. The timing coincided such that Kiono was able to grasp the exploding forces and focus them on the Thunderbird, killing it. The party realized they were in a race to reach the other ritual sites before Varren, hoping to perform Kiono's version of the ritual at each location and rendering them useless to him. Kiono did her best to inspect the ritual supplies Varren was forced to leave behind and determine what his intentions with were; she was left uncertain, however.
