Luxoria is a desert-covered realm that was pulled into the Nexus.[1]
History
The sands of Luxoria are ever-shifting. In ancient times, they were ruled by Zagara, the Desert Queen of the Scorpid Swarm.[2] Before being pulled into the Nexus, the desert realm was lead by Pharaoh Ta-sadar.[3]
When the swarm threatened to devour Luxoria once more, the pharaoh used the power of the darkworld to save the kingdom, even if that meant being consumed by the transdimensional storm. In the process, Ta-sadar became a crypt king.[3]
However, if Zagara has her way, Luxoria shall once again be ruled by the swarm.[2]
Regions
Sky Temple
A floating temple that serves as a center of worship for the snake god, Ka. The deity also stores his great power within the three minor temples located in the aerial platform.[1] The locals are often troubled by the magical flying Luxorian Monkeys. It can be hard to run a successful bazaar when your merchandise disappears into thin air.[4]
Tomb of the Spider Queen
The long forgotten tombs of Luxoria have found a new master. Deep within their timeworn chambers, the Spider Queen Neithis stirs from her ancient slumber. Present her with the gems of power she seeks, and you may just escape with your lives.[5]
Lost Cavern
Lost cavern.[6]
