In this section, the party enters and becomes familiar with the Chaddamar Theocracy. While in this nation, they must obtain several key items that they will need before they venture into the Desolation of Shidar. Specifically, an antidote to protect them from the Scourge (the disease found in the Desolation) and one piece of the Key to open Death's Door, an impassable obstacle in the Ruins of Shidar.
Definitely read up on the Chaddamar Theocracy before running this section. The Theocracy is controlled by a maternally dominated church. Only woman may be priestesses, men serve only in the military. The church rules with an iron fist. It is a very repressive society with many strict laws and taboos.
