The Lerara and B4: the Lost City

It just struck me as a natural; why not use B4 as the setting for a city of Lerara? I envision the Lerara as decididng on building a new home when the found the Mother. They built a city, in the form of an inverted ziggurat, with the Pit of the Mother at the bottom. Over the ages, their population has declined, so much of the city is in disuse. Their society and foul practices have led them to madness, and now they cavort about in masks and have a caste system, all the while praying to the god-like Mother. The adventure could begin with the PCs finding the Passage of Slerotin, encountering a few underground dangers, and then finding this vast inverted ziggurat, at first apparently deserted. As they descend, they encounter the Lerara, and after many encounters, the horror of the Mother. Any thoughts?

Cool. If you have Night's Dark Terror, you could use Kartoeba to stat out the Mother.

BTW, anyone know swedish? I found a reference on wikipedia (on an unrelated subject) that used the word "lärare" on the swedish translation. I think it means light or knowledge, based on the english version of the same line.

Nights Dark Terror is an (O)D&D TSR adventure and IMO perhaps the best adventure ever written. It starts out with a ring of slavers and ends with a lost civilization. It has city adventure, wilderness adventure, dungeon adventure and lost ruin adventure set ups included- all with great maps to boot! If not the best RPG adventure ever written, it comes close. Because it came out of the UK, however, is is not as well known as some other adventures.

Sorry to disappoint, the word means simply (school) teacher.

Hmm... Descent into the Depths, Night Below, and the Lost City, all with the goal of facing the Lerara... I think I may have a campaign on my hands! Barring the drow material, anyone have any other good ideas in the way of creepy underground fare? Especially Wellsian morlock-y/Lovecraftian "lost folk" feel...
