I've toned the spikes a bit down as they where hurting my ears.
Also sorry I haven't gotten around to writing you guys the iTunes guide. It's been a busy couple of weeks

Maybe Bob can chime in on this question:
When discussing the in-game lore, the Emerald Spire was mentioned, and a few other things. But there are many individual sites on the Echo Wood maps that have lore based creature and NPC encounters such as Dismal Caverns, The Pit of Chains, Toad Hollow, and Skull Basher's Den. There are also ruins which have some of the coolest backstories like Mosswater and Glow Water Lake, the Misted Vault, and Castle Baskraal. Hopefully these sites, while not dungeons exactly, but "dungeon encounter-like" will find a way to stay in the game area, maybe not during EE, but in a OE release down the road.

Toad hollow is the swampy area next to Hammerfall. Mosswater is west of the land rush map but well within expansion range. I suspect most or all of those features will make an appearance.
I know where they are, and that's why I asked. There are about 20 or so well known locales within the OE map area that have lore connected to them through adventures and Pathfinder stories. I am hoping these will be incorporated into the game as part of their overall "NPC ecosystem". Thelsterex's Cave is a prime example of a place that should be in the game, but should be so dangerous we won't be getting anywhere near it for a few years. And if so, good on GW for including it.

Yes, we do plan on incorporating those locations in various ways. The current escalations make occasional mention of places like the Dismal Caverns and the Pit of Chains, and the Monster Home hexes and Badlands hexes have been placed with some of those locations in mind. Eventually, we do hope to have dungeon-like experiences placed there, though what exactly that means is unknown, and it will likely be a while before we get to working on that.
