After a battle at the Tower of Winds that crippled their ship, Azagath, Belondor, and Nakási, Reaper of the Waves flee to the cavernous underground beneath Mâkhda Khorbo. The subterranean harbour served as an illicit smuggler's den for the Temple of the All-seeing Eye, and the evil wrought by its inhabitant remains in the stone.
Azagath's personal guard, bolstered by a fell-shade of the man, bar the entrance to the smuggler's cover beneath Mâkhda Khorbo. Their orders are to slaughter any interlopers.
