Kryptegardn

Named after Southkrypt, this small forest is believed to be the second-most-powerful source of the evil that pervades that dwarven ruin, the first being the Eityntor Hills lying just north. The eastern outskirts of the forest are often used by the inhabitants of Bronzestein for hunting purposes, even they do not delve farther than a few hours walk into it. Unsubstantiated rumors of another dwarven citadel in the hills near the center of the forest have circulated in recent years. A mad adventurer, apparently the lone survivor of a nine-man adventuring company, was once captured on the local plains. He babbled about a citadel of erect insects casting spells and hurling weapons that killed a man from 500 paces. According to the man’s crazed tales, the insects are able to camouflage themselves, probably magically, to the point where the only way to find the creatures is by scent and tracking. He is a known liar, yet he was found with nothing in his possession and strange burns along his arms and back that cannot be explained.
