Gauntlgrym is a large underground city
built by dwarves of Delzoun for men in
the early years of an amicable existence
of dwarves, elves, and men in the North
(long before the Fallen Kingdom). It is
now abandoned and holds great riches.
All who have heard the ballads and
tales of bards in the North know this,
but the location of this potential treasure
trove is long lost. Even dwarves
only know that it lies north of the Dessarin
and its tributaries, near the valley
of Khedrun.

Adventurers returned to Waterdeep
in triumph with news of Gauntlgrym?s
discovery a season ago, then set out
once more to recover its treasures, and
have not been heard from since.

GAME INFORMATION: Gauntlgrym
housed 30,000 men and dwarves in its
day. Now, not even goblin races dwell
here. Dripping water echoes eerily
throughout the cold empty halls broken
infrequently by the wails of banshees.
Gauntlgrym touches on the
Deepearth realms and a powerful
illithid (mindflayer) clan controls part
of the city.

Although the way is long and deadly,
Gauntlgrym also connects with Great
Worm Caverns, which house the ancestor
mound of the Great Worm Uthgardt
tribe.

FR1
Gauntlgrym is a large underground city
built by dwarves for men in the early years of
the amicable existence of dwarves, elves, and
men in the North. It is now abandoned and
holds great riches. All who have ever heard
the ballads and tales of bards in the North
know this; what none have known is the precise
location of this potential treasure-trove.
The dwarves themselves know only that it lies
north of the Dessarin and its tributaries, near
the valley of Khedrun. (Khedrun, pronounced
"Ka-hed-ROON," was a famous dwarven hero
who in legend carved out the homeland of the
dwarves in the North with his axe from lands
dark with wolves, orcs, and bugbears; he
really existed, but so long ago that none know
what of his story is fancy and what is fact.)

A few adventurers returned to Waterdeep
in triumph with news of Gauntlgrym?s
discovery a season ago, set out once more to
recover its treasures, and have not been
heard from since.
