Prime real estate for a proper port to be built, this hex was also the coast where the Hezbah merchants docked in.

Cireza
Known as the many-legged goddess, spider queen. Dwelled in the mines but were driven out by Warlord Warrack.

Exploration
The party was tasked by Kiera Stromm to explore the area south of Eden. There they found a sprawling desert. Their attention was caught by a desert fox pup who led them to help it's mother. Unbeknownst to them, the corpse of mother was full of spiders that burst out of it's cavity, catching the party by surprise. Their movements also caught the attention of burrowed giant spiders who proceeded to ambush the hapless adventurers, leading to a massacre which left half of the party dead and the rest running back to camp to recuperate. The fox pup, having nowhere else to go, accompanied the survivors back to camp.

A Threat to Eden
Henry tried to force Keira into marriage in exchange for support against the spiders, Kiera disappears, Captain Fanton grew a backbone, Spider queen shows up... in front of the Longhouse, some Hexplorers  went to get Keira while some stayed to protect the longhouse. On the Speranza fighting ensued, as Keira gave Henry her rejection. With that, it is clear that no help will come from the  Sanctus Bellator. The Hexplorers got Keira back, but they almost lost Fanton to the hands of the spider queen, as she produced a gaping hole on the ground.

At that moment, a sea of spiders attacked Eden, as the Queen rallied her minions. The Hexplorers tried to rescue the people in the camp, but lost the Hezah merchants in the process. They were able to rescue the Earth Genasis too. Out of bravery or foolishness, the hexplorers faced Baghala herself who is battling Fenton. The battle was a close call, but the Captain launched a Meteor Swarm from the heavens. With the aid of the Hexplorer's ingenuity, the Queen failed in dodging the rain of fiery rock. At her weakened state, she called her spiders, who wrapped around her body like an armor. She escaped Eden, with her tail between her legs, leaving the fight for another day.
