City of Aboleths

 * ''By Bruce R. Cordell, illustrated by Michael Franchina

"Aboleths are one of the most terrifying and alien threats in existence. Learn about one of their strongholds, complete with sample encounters and several new aboleth varieties, and prepare to turn your adventurers into thralls devoted to their new aboleth masters."

Encounters in the aboleth, XXiphu's, egg nursery from the novel City of Torment.

Monument of the Ancients

 * By Brian R. James &amp; Matt James, illustrated by Eric Belisle, Cartography by Sean MacDonald. p. 47-82

"If myth and legend are to be believed, the antediluvian monument defends a region of Faerûn where the boundary between the world of Toril and the Elemental Chaos is weakest. At the monument's heart lies the Anchor of Chaos, an arcane bulwark sealing a cosmic fissure between the planes. Were the enchantment powering the Anchor to fail, the Moonsea North would stand defenseless against a full-scale invasion by forces of elemental evil. Unbeknownst to the citizens of Phlan, that day is nearly upon them."

This adventure involves a barbarian attack on the region of Moonsea North, which sent survivors into the city of Phlan. The attackers were ordered by an ancient evil, a "lost god" from Toril's past with connections to the Elemental Chaos.
