Geography

The ruins of Morindar lies deep within the mountains, northeast of Aran'riod.

History

It was eary in Chronos in the year 409 AF when sounds of weariness and sorrow led a group of adventurers within the darkened eaves of the Northreach Forest to a young dwarf called Elawhe Greyfounder who had travelled there in search of aid. Exhausted from her search, the adventurers offered comfort and nourishment to the desperate traveller until she was able to relate her tale.

Haltingly, she recalled a dark grey place of stone and ruin nestled within the mountains of Northern Sapience where her companion, Torgath Shalecutter, suffered an injury that trapped him with no way to feed or fend for himself. The Achaeans arund her offered their assistance at once, agreeing to do whatever they could to retrieve Torgath from the ruins. Equipped with Elawhe's memories they set out for the ruins of Morindar, now accessible as the Wall of Power had mysteriously receded further north.

Grignor was the first of the scouts to enter the newly discovered area, followed by eagle-eyed Delphinus who found the hidden entrance to a concealed series of caverns, and Taril who sleuthed a way into the even deeper crypts that were swarmed wtih half-dead creatures of darkness and decay.

Hyano, who had struck out on his own, located Torgath who lay incapacitated with a broken leg near a strange sarcophagus. Elawhe joined them and once Torgath's broken leg was repaired the young couple returned to their estranged home of Inbhir Ness.
