Jalam Khebir, the wealthiest merchant of Hombori Tondo (Fonrit, Pamaltela), has left his trade empire to his eldest son, Miran. Jalam carries a curse on his mother’s exiled line (House of Shazar) for backing the wrong Jann in the Wars of Succession: the Curse of Nyala-Tir, laid by priestesses of Maran Gor. It kills every male heir at age sixty-five.
Jalam is sixty-four and plagued by cold dreams of the entity. Seeking to save himself and Miran, Jalam finds a cure in a scroll from the Library of Meskavayah: a blood heir must journey to the Fist of the Gods in Laskal jungle, humble himself, and face Judgment.
Keeping the quest secret from Miran, Jalam hires the PCs for 300 silver Janns each under the guise of a private trade voyage for pearls and incense. They sail aboard his swift dhow, Promise of the Wind, but Jalam will reveal their true, perilous destination only once they are far out at sea.
