DDEP6-1 Relics of Khundrukar

Post date: Jul 06, 2017 5:23:13 PM

This adventure takes deep beneath the Stone Tooth — a craggy mountain 30 miles northwest of Mirabar that houses the dwarven stronghold of Khundrukar.

Two hundred years ago, the dwarven master smith Durgeddin the Black fled with an orc horde hot on his heels to the Stone Tooth, a forested hill in the Spine of the World, northwest of Mirabar. Underneath the mountain, Durgeddin founded Khundrukar.

The century that followed was prosperous, but eventually Durgeddin’s enemies learned the secret location of his stronghold. Soon, a great army of orcs and trolls from Many-Arrows marched on Khundrukar and after brutal fighting, overran it. The creatures looted the stronghold and then abandoned it.

Within the last several years, a force of duergar from Clan Xornbane established an outpost several hours’ trek in the Underdark from Stone Tooth. Xornbane’s agents were recently found occupying the foundry of Khundrukar by explorers. All evidence points to their having taken ancient weapons from Khundrukar and secret recipes from the master smith’s forge. The Council of Sparkling Stones, lords of Mirabar, would dearly love to retrieve these lost treasures.
