Summoned by an unknown means, the deadly Sarcuva demon dwells deep within the Ruins of Mordinar. When called forth, the demon tries to beckon the unwary to their doom. Curiously, the blood of the demon appears to have an empowering effect when properly mixed with other reagents. Yurasta Tarcalion, Thaumaturge of Mordinar, seeks the corpse of the sacruva demon to empower his liege, the Shah.
