The Nacrisseans (pronounced nuh-CRISS-ee-uns) are a cursed race of dark elves. Long ago, their leaders made a pact with the demon-goddess Lolth, granting them power at a terrible cost. The Nacrisseans live under a multi-faceted curse which has affected them as a race most fundamentally.

It’s New Year’s Eve in New York City (and elsewhere too, I suppose). As usual, a massive throng of people, the PCs included, is partying in Times Square. The nearly one million people all crowded around One Times Square are so thick that for hundreds of feet it’s almost impossible to move.
