	The first (top) level includes the queen's rooms, barracks, and kennels. Creatures encountered here include fire giants, [[gnoll]]s, and in the kennels, [[Hellhound\|hell hounds]]. The second level is also made of obsidian rocks and natural caverns. It houses chambers of spiritual interest to the fire giants. There is a hall that houses the dead fire giant kings, and rooms for worship. There are also rooms that contain [[drow]] clerics. This is where the party learns that the drow are behind the giant alliance, led by Eclavdra, a high level [[drow]] [[fighter]]/[[cleric]]. The third level consists of natural caverns and contains a great treasure guarded by a red dragon. There are also more fire giants and drow; to exterminate the fire giants, the adventurers must penetrate deep into the active volcano where they live. If the DM wishes, there is a tunnel that leads deep into the earth; to the home of the drow. This allows the adventure to be continued in Descent into the Depths of the Earth.

			G4 is Mount Rungirheim, another frost-giant lair. G5 is Castle Thrasmotnir, for fire-giants. In between the expansions concerning occupied Sterich in the ''Queen of the Spiders'' supermodule are taken to a higher level here in Geoff.

			G6 is the final battle, a cloud-giant lair. The whole invasion was set in motion by the Sakhut. The Sakhut hail from the far west and speak a Baklunish language. They view other giants as their natural serfs, and man-sized humanoids as edible monkeys.
