Background—The Lost Prison of the Five

Ages ago a coven of five wizards captured, tortured, and taunted creatures, demons, and devils of the dark to learn untold arcane power. These discoveries were preserved in jars of living magic. The lab and its jailers faded in time, but the horrors they had captured seethed in rage awaiting a moment to escape. Now, a chance excavation has revealed the Lost Prison of the Five, and the secrets stored within.
