Ruhn-Shak

If you find carved arches and steel gates in the mountain slopes, do not rest there, no matter the cold. There are no welcoming dwarf-halls among these forsaken peaks.
Deep below the surface world, countless caverns and tunnels wind into regions where light finds no purchase. It is here, beneath the Stormcrest Mountains, that the largest subterranean society of dark elves maintains its tyranny. Hidden entrances and tunnels riddle not just the mountain range, but the Dreamseep, as well as darker regions of the Verdant Expanse, granting raiding parties quick and easy access to the surface under cover of night—slaughtering many, enslaving the rest, and taking the spoils as gifts to the Spider Queen.
This twisted network of tunnels is easy collapsed and reopened through the use of "Pit Witches", druids who master the art of rock and dirt manipulation, making it nearly impossible to give chase. The Wardens of Syngorn are ever alert and seeking a way to find and destroy this heart of the Spider Queen's power in Tal'Dorei, but the sly and cunning elves of Ruhn-Shak have yet to meet a match.
