The Cirrus Casino, constructed in the cloudy valley of floating island motes, hovers miles above the sandy purple wasteland dunes below, backlit by hundreds of magical Illusionary symbols and light shows. The Cirrus Casino is the playground for the most famous and influential figures in all of Crudilex.

Cirrus is known for more than just its eccentric clientele or glamorous architecture. Its tyrannical master chef, Grelofishal, produces food sought after across all 4 nations. Its master Humunculmancer, Jakacoru Peel, creates prized familiars for the world's preeminent mages. Most of all, the casino's mysterious owner, the Gorgon Enchante’ Cirrus.

The Casino was commissioned by Enchante who serves as hostess and proprietor of all future events including the Monoskiff classic airship race, Sky Yacht shipshow, and the Premier Auction where all the greatest and most valuable artifacts of Crudilex are collected and sold to the affluent and hand-selected clientele of the world's most notable figures.

This map is set in the same setting as my book, Ida’s Guide, Crudilex, and is inspired by all the great heist movies! The entire thing is meant to evoke that feeling of executing the perfect plan with your crew during some kind of big fancy event, even Ocean's Eleven style. When I first ran this encounter, I included a handful of criminal organizations who were invested in the crime with a “Pick one to protect you; the rest are coming after you” sort of complication on top. Because the only thing better than pulling a heist is another crew also hitting the same casino at the same time!
