The Infiltration of Fort Khervor - Level-6 adventure.
From the blistering sands of the Meshken Wastes, the dreaded giant raiders known as the Simoom Raiders have issued an ultimatum to the remote settlement Arenpet: remove themselves from wherever the desert sands touch or face annihilation. The raiders returned to their fortress to grant Arenpet an opportunity to withdraw within half a fortnight; however, instead of fleeing, the settlement has called for adventurers to launch a preemptive assault on the fort. Yet time, like sand through an hourglass, is steadily running out for the isolated town. . .

Blazing Sand, Searing Water - Level-7 adventure.
The immediate threat posed by the Simoom Wolves has been dealt with, and the raiders are reeling from their defeat at Fort Khevor. Yet news has come to Arenpet of a more sinister threat: a mystic with the ability to spread the desert across the land. With this new power revealed, a new mission to eliminate the mystic is planned before he can extend the desert to the entire region.

The Mystic and the Chieftain's Strife - Level-8 adventure.
The Simoom Wolves have faced defeat after defeat and are reeling, and the clear cause that united them has begun to waver. As news of the failures reaches Seket and Grimorg at Warlord’s Repose, the final raiders’ stronghold, they turn their attention toward preserving their control over the faltering organization. An animal is most deadly when it is cornered, and the Simoon Wolves now have two—both of whom have their sights set on Arenpet once the dust settles between them.
