Uldaman

Uldaman is an ancient and forgotten forge used by the Dwarven god of crafting, Ornn. It has been abandoned by the gods and now serves as a bastion for Duergar dwarves of the Dark Iron Kingdom.

Description

Located at the bottom of a mountain is the original dwarven excavation site that uncovered Uldaman. Inside is a twisting collection of tunnels leading to several excavated halls around a central chamber known as Dig One. Within this chamber is the entrance to the Hall of the Keepers and the rest of Uldaman proper. The excavation site is the only known access to the underground forge, and is heavily guarded by the duergar that declare this place as their own.

History

Uldaman is a lost and forgotten ancient forge, built by the god Ornn himself. It was created as a sanctuary for Ornn to craft and create. The forge was said to contain artifacts and relics of unmatched quality, created by Ornn. However, after the battle with his brother Valhir, Ornn abandonned this workshop.
Abandonned for eons, Uldaman was taken over by the Duergar to form a formidable bastion of their own. With its walls and structures made of solid stone and metal, crafted by the god of forging himself. The dwarves have made the forge their own, fortifying it further and using it as a stronghold.
Despite its history and significance, Uldaman remains shrouded in mystery and is seldom visited by outsiders. Some seek its lost treasures, while others fear the power of the Duergar. But for those who dare to enter its dark halls, Uldaman holds secrets and wonders that are yet to be uncovered.
It was later rediscovered by Sorilae Mond Frozen, an accomplished explorer who became famous for retrieving the legendary hammer Whelm from the forge. She brought the knowledge of the ancient forge to the attention of the world, especially the Explorers' League. Her daring expedition and discovery earned her great acclaim and respect among her peers.
