Beneath the shifting sands of the Sea of Fire and Southron Wastes, as well as the suffocating canopy of the southern jungles and elsewhere throughout Elanthia, a silent watcher lies in wait. The scrape of chitin against stone and the sharp whistle of a raised stinger descending are often the only warnings a traveler receives before encountering one of the more intimidating members of the arachnid world — the scorpion. Scorpions have occupied the dark corners of Elanthia since the ancient ages, outlasting empires and surviving cataclysms that claimed far softer creatures.

Enjoy this New Lore Document, providing details about the Scorpions of Elanthia.

Created by GM Gyres, Thandiwe, Warlockes, and Xynwen, this document outlines the various cultures that interact with these dangerous animals.
