The Seven Patriarchs of the duergar and Diepkamer


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


Previously posted to reddit, but someone suggested I ask my questions here:

In Into the Darklands, James Jacobs describes the leadership of the duergar. Though Hagegraf is the capital of the duergar nation (which, BTW, seems to have no name other than "the duergar nation") the ruling council of the duergar's cities, settlements, kings, margraves and war-marshals is located in Diepkamer.

However, that document is extremely thin on its highly suggestive details. It does not:

* Describe where Diepkamer is
* Explain the mysterious deaths of 5 of the 7 Patriarchs which has apparently happened recently
* Give any sense of the structure of the city itself outside of the fact that it's guarded and is the seat of the Seven Patriarchs.

Has there been any published material that followed up on this brief description? Is there a known plan to resolve the mystery of the dead patriarchs or expand the city's description?

I notice that the PathfinderWiki claims that the city is under the World's Edge Mountains in Taldor, but the only reference I see in Into the Darklands to the World's Edge Mountains is that Kravenkus lies within that range and contains an entrance to the Darklands (p. 8). Is PathfinderWiki basing that on this section of the map of Nar-Voth and if so, is that a correct approximation for where the city lies in that image?

----

PS: For those who didn't see my previous posting, this is part of the research I'm doing in collecting all of the published references to the Darklands into a single document (Google Docs, very much an early draft). Mostly this is an index, not a summary, but I'm including just enough summary info to tie it all together (unlike, for example, PathfinderWiki that attempts to re-summarize all of the info while providing individual citations within each article as a secondary matter).
