The legendary wealth of The Cities of Gold lies somewhere in its sandy depths.So, too, do worse things: fell monsters, famous in adventurers' tales (and listeners' nightmares) across the Realms. Evil crawling magic whose counterspells have been long forgotten, whose death slumbers lightly, ever-ready to awaken and strike down the unwary intruder.In the pages of this sourcebook, Anauroch comes to life.
