The Mines of Iskadar are located on the continent of Meropis, the entrance hidden behind the Sypathean Falls in the Northern Vasnari Mountains. Somewhat prone to earthquakes, the caves are home to a number of extremely xenophobic dwarves from the Blackfire and Bloodstone clans, who speak only Dwarven. Deep within the rock-strewn tunnels, the Dwarven priests of Iskadar have made their quarters where they maintain a lavish chapel. Signs of cannibalism are everywhere in the mines, sickness and cave-ins are common, though each clan claims to maintain strict faith in the Dwarffather.
