It is where Juggerwroth was sealed away by the Seven Sages long ago, located in the desert wasteland where the Ancient Ship was found by the Hero.
Story
Long ago, the Seven Sages were able to defeat and seal away the Lord of Darkness Rhapthorne, but after a long, grueling battle, they were met by Rhapthorne's greatest minion, Juggerwroth. He challenged them to battle, but as the Sages were still injured and tired from the battle with Rhapthorne, they were not able to completely defeat him. They sealed him away in stone in his lair deep in the wasteland, but little did they know that someday Juggerwroth would bide his time and wait for his injuries to recover. After the destruction of the Holy Isle of Neos and the advent of the Black Citadel, the great demon sensed that his master had returned and was able to break out of his stone seal placed by the sages.
When the party visits the ruins of Neos, Jessica Albert feels a great wave of evil, much like when she was possessed by Rhapthorne's sceptre. The party makes a detour to the depths of the Dragon Graveyard, where the spirit of Mr. Golding's ancestor tells them the tale of Juggerwroth and how he came to be sealed by the sages. The party then makes their way to the wild lands, where they once found the Ancient Ship, and find the entrance to Juggerwroth's lair.
