| "Ah, you know the name Urborg, don't you? You have shivered in your bed in terror of the tales that are told; and now you ask Hakim to tell you the truth of the place. Well, and I will do that.
"Urborg is a volcanic island thick with jungle, far to the north and west of Jamuraa. It is one of the Burning Isles, a huge archipelago that includes Bogardan and many others. Dozens of lords and entities--all of them quite unpleasant--control the island chain. "That is the truth; but so is your fright the truth. All wise children (and adults--do you think we do not have nightmares?) know to fear some of the creatures of Urborg."
