Adventure Guide Entry

The in-game Adventure Guide text for the Lavanthor encounter in The Violet Hold.

Cyanigosa in her cold cunning has unleashed the core hound's inferno. The magi imprisoned Lavanthor to stanch the two-headed terror's thirst for blood, and years of isolation have done nothing to improve its temper.
