Journey's Legg

Journey's Legg was an asteroid that existed within the Astral Plane, having previously been among those within the Tears of Selûne. It was a highly fortified neogi base and hideout.

Description
Behind the rock of the asteroid, the neogi had built inner walls of adamantine that further shielded their base from intruders.

Interior
The neogi's prisoner stockade was found amidst a network of tunnels dug deep within the asteroid.

The innermost sanctums of Journey's Legg were set within a maze-like corridor, each set behind locked doors. Notable locales included an incubation chamber for juvenile eyedrakes, a "meat grinder" chamber that ground down food for pet neothelids, and a gauntlet of trap-filled chambers that deterred would-be prison breaks.

Geography
The asteroid was less than across.

It was also the main base of operations of the neogi in Realmspace. Nearly all neogi attacks and raids within the sphere originated from Journey's Legg.

Trade
Journey's Legg was used by the neogi as a hub in their slave traffic activities in Realmspace. Slaves captured from Toril and other nearby locations were first brought there before being sold or put to work by the neogi.

Defenses
The asteroid was extremely well fortified and guarded. Journey's Legg was constantly watched over by at least ten neogi spelljammers of different types ready to defend it, along with an array of defensive turrets.

It was also protected by scores of mind-controlled monstrous and otherworldly creatures that had been enslaved by the neogi, such as umber hulks, gray renders, astral phoenixes, star spawn, and planar kraken.

History
"Former slaves, gith soldiers, planar travelers, and adventurers of this allied expeditionary force! You'are about to embark upon a most dangerous hunt, one we have only held as a hpope for so long...Your aim is the destruction of the neogi slaving base of Journey's Legg."

- Jaan'vald Llanou.

Some time in the late 15 century DR, a gith adventuring party called the Draa'zvir managed to escape from imprisonment from within Journey's Legg after being captured by neogi slavers. The entire asteroid mysteriously shifted from from its position within the Tears of Selûne to the Astral Plane. Gath Qos wished every prisoner free from Jorurney's Legg and plane shifted her and her allies to nearby Stardock.

Unfortunately, one party member Jaan'vald Llanou, was apprehended by Red Wizards and imprisoned in the frozen Abeiran necropolis of Xorvintroth on Toril. After Jaan'vald and the other captives of the Red Wizards were freed by Remallia Haventree and her allies in the Harpers, he was informed by his allies in the Sha'sal Khou the location of the slavers' base.

Adventurers allied with the Harpers, members of Draa'zvir, and agents of the Sha'sal Khou formed a spacefaring raiding party and set out for Journey's Legg together. They rallied allies among the giff, aboard their mighty bombard, and a band of gnome ceremorphs that piloted the Id Ascendant, and set out for the Astral Plane.

Once within Journey's Legg, they discovered that the neogi of Journey's Legg had allied with a illithid named Xissix. The two had stolen the artifact known as the Anomaly from Xorvintroth, and attached it to the otherworldly machine referred to as the Engine, in order to conduct experiments utilizing Far Realm energy. They had combined the two constructs into a single, sentient entity that phased the entirety of Journey's Legg into the Astral Plane.

While the exact fate of the the combined Anomaly–Engine entity was unknown, Jaan'vald and his fellow adventurers did manage to save many of those enslaved by the neogi raiders.
