The Door
to
Unger
Though it is not in the Land of Een, the Door to Unger has a strong connection to that hidden realm, for it was built in the Days of Een by one of the earliest Een wizards, Grendel Greeve. The door is located in the heart of the what is known as the Greeven Wastes and is guarded by seven Unger elders. It is a great honor to be chosen as on eof these keepers.
The Door to Unger is curiously named, for it’s great face does not resemble an Unger at all, but rather the face of an Een. Cracked and weathered after hundreds and hundreds of years of existance, the face of the door rises out of a stony wall and overlooks an arena where monstrous onlookers may gather. This is because the door is actually alive, and comes to life when propsective prisoners are brought before it. The gateway itself—the mouth of the door—opens but once a year, during the Festival of Greeve. During this festival, all manner of creatures, including Ungers, Goojuns and Krakes, gather to cast prisoners through the door and into the maze that waits beyond.
Oroook the Unger told Kendra Kandlestar to go in search of the Door to Unger. He claimed that the door would hold a clue as to what became of the girl’s long-lost family. |
