Point Iron was a dwarven iron mine roughly 225 years ago when it was overrun by duergar. Rumors of a rich vein of gold being found just before the fall of the dwarves have been rampant ever since. Five years ago, with the help of the temple of Tymora, Mulmaster marched on the mine only to find the few duergar left were sick or crazed. Reclaiming the mine, the High Blade ordered a fort (named Fort Iron) built on the site to defend the rich deposits of iron, and ordered the search for gold begun. The miners searched, but the gold was never found. Stories grew of some nameless fear in the deep mines and the area was sealed off and avoided in the years that followed.
Recently Leleanor, a descendant of Aurora the Eclectic (author of the Whole Realms Catalogue), found a map in her ancestor’s belongings suggesting that the gold veins were located in an oubliette within the sealed tunnels. Contacting allies within the Lords Alliance and the Church of Tymora, she quietly secured access to the mine and, with a handful of adventurers, departed to search for the fabled wealth. Unfortunately for the young entrepreneur, the Cult of the Black Earth had previous detected powerful elemental magic in the area and they have begun digging toward it.
