 Ghiliba Mbaya is a powerful druid that once served the Lord of the Plains in the land of Viture.  When the blue dragon Arcilus sets his sights on corrupting the Kingdoms of Viture Plains, Ghiliba Mbaya is the first to succumb to the wiles of the dragon.  He ends up being the traitor that betrays and destroys many of those once independant kingdoms.  After that, Ghiliba Mbaya swears his oaths of alligiance to Arcilus and serves him faithfully thereafter.  When Arcilus is betrayed and slain and civil war comes to the Blue Dragons of Jagged Rock Drop, Ghiliba Mbaya journeys south into the unforgiving desert to find the son of Arcilus who has taken refuge deep in the desert wastes.  Once he finds him, Ghiliba Mbaya serves the son of Arcilus, Zmaj Pustinjski, as faithfully as he served his father.  In no time at all, Ghiliba Mbaya builds and organizes an army of kobolds to serve Zmaj.  The kobolds mulitply like rabbits, and Ghiliba is able to establish a network of spies and servants through much of the northern desert wastes.  But the Hamakhaave desert is a dead and lonely place, and Zmaj, Ghiliba, and their kobold servants are practically alone, and Zmaj must patrol a far greater area than a normal Blue Dragon.  This is how Zmaj finds the small villages that tend the 1000 camels that gather at Camel's Cove on the west side of Springfed Valley.  He terrorizes and tortures the helpless villagers, demanding virgin sacrifices twice a month and gorging himself on the many camel herds.  His army of kobolds thrives and grows and Zmaj takes to flying farther and farther south.  Zmaj spots the fortress of Kahar only 460 miles south of where they have established his lair.  He sends forth his spies, and, thus, they are aware of the impending Dark Crusades.  On the night of the Fire Giant's attack, the kobold army strikes and captures the Rear Gate and Zmaj and his minions begin to dig a new liar below the Rear Gate of Kahar.
 Ghiliba Mbaya plays the fiddle on top of Curled Finger Rocks as Zmaj digs the lair entrance.  Witnesses see him in the lightning, rain, and wind, and, thus, he earns the nickname "Thunderstorm Bringer".
 But it is no bandit or lowly baron of a tiny province that they find themselves facing, they have become embroilled in a 3 way land war with the prize being Kahar itself.  The Fire Giant, the 2 Hill Giants, and a majority of the attacking goblinoids are slain or scattered, but in their place come scores of undead goblinoids killing and rending all they encounter.  The surviving soldiers of Goldenshield Kingdom gather together at the east side of the fortress and hold 3 of the surviving Towers.  They establish a front at Sita Hamlet that blocks the Kobold invasion to the east and they hold the Wall and the last 3 Towers against the Sakal Occupation.  But for Zmaj, Ghiliba, and the kobolds, the southern part of the fortress holds the biggest threat.  The Keep and the Library become the center of the Sakal Occupation.  Scores of undead gather in deadly death dealing groups.  Salamanders and Fire Snakes patrol a newly formed flowing river of lava, and kuthriks patrol The Lush.  Hidden from the soldiers of Goldenshield, Zmaj, and even Ghiliba himself, a powerful enemy has followed the Dark Crusades and uses a jackalwere army and scores of undead to occupy and control the destroyed fortress.  This is Khalista the lamia, though her identity will remain hidden for a great part of the campaign, and she is trained in the arts of necromancy, with a power over the undead that is unrivaled by all.  Khalista braves the demonic powers and calls forth a demon of the ancient world, a Mummy Lord.  Khalista bows down before this ancient evil and begs that it might destroy the dragon and the kobold invasion.  Then the brand new dragon lair is attacked by this creature of darkness with all of Khalista's undead army, and the kobolds are unable to repel this attacking force.  The attackers enter the lair and begin their destruction of all that Zmaj and Ghiliba have constructed.  But Zmaj is no ordinary young adult dragon, but is decended from royalty and nobility, and Ghiliba himself builds magical entwinements that allow Zmaj to use lair actions to defend his home.  The invaders are beaten down when they reach the second lightning room and it is Ghiliba himself that hacks the Mummy Lord into pieces.  Heavily wounded and under great stress and fear, Ghiliba turns treacherous and abandons his charge and flees the lair.  But he is ambushed by the many wraiths and wights that still patrol the area outside the lair and he is slain.  Zmaj Pustinjski retreives his body, but the Sword of Ghiliba and the Violin of Lightning Resistance are taken by the servants of Khalista and hidden in the depths of Tower 1.
