The Evil Land of Torrid

Torrid is unusual for the Dreamlands as it has a large army and is trying to start an empire. It is stopped because it's neighbors have banded together to keep them in check.
They are trying to form an alliance with the gugs(horrible mythos giants)  This would be a game changer.

The ghouls are implacable foes of the gugs. Anything that would give them power would be disturbing to the delicate balance of the two races. Adventurers could turn this to their advantage, also gaining allies

The adventurers could serve as abasitors, bring the gugs firmly in Torrid camp
