==Overview==
Built by worshippers of the [[Shar|Lady of Loss]] in time immemorial, this long-abandoned fortress has been recently given a second life, with the forces of the [[Absolute]] skittering through crumbling ruins and devilish lava pools, bolstering their armaments and seeking a safe incursion point to march their army into the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]].

[[Duergar]] mercenaries billeted at the lower levels of the forge are commanding a group of enslaved Ironhand gnomes to free the commander of the local special forces, [[Nere|True Soul Nere]], from a sudden cave-in. The only member of the group capable of clearing the cave-in has gone missing, and the duergar are willing to reward anybody who finds the runaway, dead or alive.

The original Grymforge fortress was built in an unknown age by a group of Sharran followers. Those Sharrans used the fortress for approximately eight hundred years, after which it was abandoned. Grymforge was not re-inhabited until [[Ketheric Thorm]]'s [[Dark Justiciar]] army were brought in to rebuild it. <ref>[[Grymforge: A History]]</ref>

After this, the Grymforge served as a base of operations for Ketheric and his Justiciars. Among these Sharrans was Silouv Yali, a gnome well known for his wizarding talents. Yali guided the Sharrans in building the [[Adamantine Forge (Location)|Adamantine Forge]], which was able to heat mithral to great enough temperatures to forge adamantine. As well, he conjured [[Grym]], a construct who protects the forge. <ref>[[The Great Furnace of Grymforge]]</ref>

While Ketheric's forces worked to destroy Reithwin and its surrounding Selûnite population, a Selûnite resistance lead by [[Infernal Mason|Mordfred]] worked to oppose him. The Justiciars proved too strong however, forcing Mordfred to make a bargain with [[Raphael]] in desperation; destroy the Justiciars in return for his soul.<ref>[[Mason's Log]]</ref>

Raphael sent the orthon [[Yurgir]] and his [[Merregon Legionnaire|merregons]] to the Grymforge. Yurgir smashed through the cities walls, leaving behind hellish glass. <ref>Dialogue with [[Stonemason Kith]]</ref> Together, he and his merregons wiped out the Justiciar presence. While Yurgir and most of his legion left to remove the Justiciars from the [[Gauntlet_of_Shar|Gaunlet of Shar]], some merregons remained in Grymforge.
