Ben Dorhal

Ben Dorhal is a dwarven, mining settlement situated high in the Serpentine Spires. It was once the source of a vast gold reserve as well as other precious gems, notably sapphires.

The Vylgaardian Heroes set off for Ben Dorhal after hearing about the troubles at Windarm Mine from a notice board in Cashara. Upon reaching the gates of the city, the guards directed the party to the Greasy Hammer. Here they met Kheric Windarm, the owner of the Windarm Mine.The Windarm Mine had once been a great source of silver, but like the rest of the mines in Ben Dorhal, the source had run dry. After opening up a new, untapped area of the mine, the party came across a sapphire which hadn't been seen in this part of the mountain for decades. When digging a bit further, the miners heard a growl which they ignored. Then the scratching began and never stopped. Kheric asked the party for their help in clearing out the mine of whatever was making the noise

The party agreed to take up Kheric's quest and Kheric offered the help of his cousin, Tordek Trueblood a Paladin of Gond.
