In the center of the large isle of Waverly is an ancient city of the same name that fell during the wars of the past age. The battles depopulated the city, but its high stone walls and gates remain stout and whole after thousands of years. The central plaza features a grand fountain of marble fashioned in the likeness of a creature that has the body of a female human and a snakelike tail; the fountain still sprays water into the air in a shimmering arc. Old waterways crisscross Waverly, feeding a fertile scrub plain. Dozens of sailing ships lie half buried in a harbor at the shore of the silt; their wooden hulls and decks became petrified long ago. Except for flocks of wild erdlus and hives of wild kanks, the island appears deserted.

The island has been occupied by an army of Dray swearing loyalty to Dregoth.
