The Silkbound Swamp: Kingdom of the Threadborne
Audio Codex XII

Deep within Dreadmire lies Silkbound — a drowned kingdom ruled not by men, but by the Threadborne. Across flooded ruins and web-choked waterways, colossal arachnids labor beneath an ancient hierarchy older than many surviving realms of AshenReach itself.

At the center of the swamp stands a half-sunken castle claimed by the Tarantula King — a crowned patriarch spider adorned with bones, jewels, and relics stolen from centuries of lost travelers.

Entire ferries hang cocooned from cathedral ceilings. Egg catacombs sleep beneath the mire. Pale broodmothers watch from the dark.

And somewhere within the flooded throne halls… the Ashenborne Knight arrives seeking a fang from the king itself.

A new descent into the drowned horrors of AshenReach.
