AT A GLANCE: The Halls of the Hammer 
are an abandoned stockade located 
downstream from the gates of an 
ancient dwarven settlement, equally
abandoned.  

ELMINSTER'S NOTES: The Halls of the 
Hammer are an abandoned dwarf-hold 
west of Mt. Hilm, generally ignored and 
in neglect.  Hammer Hall is an isolated 
homestead, and surrounded by a stout 
wooden palisade, built by a company of 
adventurers.  As is common for adventuring 
companies workign for long periods 
in a particular AREA, the "Men of 
Hammer Hall" used the stockade as A 
place to retire to betwen sorties into 
the dwarf-hold. 

After exploring the ruins for several 
seasons, the adventurers are said to 
have set off for the north, and have not 
been heard of since.  The fate of their 
treasure, and the treasure that may 
remain in Hammer Hall, is unknown. 
This AREA is a true wilderness, travelled 
by men but seldom settled, and the 
question remains open.
