Yagolorn is a blasted landscape infused with the energy of Chaos. Plagued with freak happenings, fiery fissures opening up far from ground, eddies of fire, water or a maelstrom of churning rock, dancing erratically across the wasteland, and a host of other things abnormal. For travelers, the most deadly anomaly to run across are tornadoes of fire. Some of these chaos infusions become permanent fixtures of area, unmoored motes of some element, earth, water, fire, or air.

In the Year 60, Theegans on the border of this area erected the tower of Briltarn. It was built as part of an early warning system for the dangers coming out of Yagolorn. The Theegans, a people on the mend, blamed the gnolls for aberrations and abominations always ending up in Theegan lands. When they found out the real reason, the gnolls enticing the monsters away from their own lands with speed and guile, the two sides came to an agreement. They would both work to draw the area's more dangerous foes northwards into the plains of an event greater foe, the Jara.

Near the heart of Yagolorn is a petrified arm of immense size. Pinkish, like flayed flesh from a distance, this 200' long appendage has long hairs like iron wires. Resistant to magic and weapons, the hairs cannot be cut, and none has ever been removed. Once the arm of Krerax, a mighty primordial warlord of the Creation War (1486 DE - 8777 DE). Another battle of this war left three great sinkholes. When Ares killed the abomination centipede Morebhox, severing it in three, the acidic blood of this dying creature burned deep holes, earn the name Cysts of Morebhox.
