'''Grymforge''' is a [[Location]] in the [[Underdark]] in [[Act One]]. It encompasses the legendary [[Adamantine Forge (Location)|Adamantine Forge]] and the lesser Ancient Forge, also known as the [[Abandoned Refuge]].

 

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 following {{SmIconLink|Waypoint Header Map Icon.png|Waypoints}} are available within Grymforge:

Accessible immediately upon arrival to the Grymforge, this is the main base of operations for the local [[Duergar]] mercenaries. It encompasses the lower areas of the Grymforge and spans from the entry docks below to the [[Nere|True Soul Nere's]] cave-in above. In order to progress to the upper-most levels of the area and eventually reach the Ancient Forge, the party must traverse through the Abandoned Temple to the north-east, or blast through a smaller cave-in to the north-west.

To the far south of Grymforge, through a series of contraptions and ruins, there is an entry to the [[Abandoned Refuge]], also known as the Ancient Forge, and there is the 'Underdark - Ancient Forge' [[waypoint]]. It can be accessed by navigating through the forge grating at the upper levels, reached either by progressing through the trapped bridge that the north-western cave-in led to, or by taking the Abandoned Temple route. Abilities such as [[Misty Step]], [[Enhance Leap]], or [[Fly (Class Action)|Fly]] can be of help to find other paths through the terrain.

If continuing on the Ancient Forge route, there will be the magnum opus of a long-forgotten Sharran blacksmith - the legendary [[Adamantine Forge (Location)|Adamantine Forge]], capable of smithing the mythical [[Mithral Ore]] into armaments of exceptional quality. It is clearly visible from the Abandoned Refuge vista and can be accessed by traversing south-east, down from the 'Underdark - Ancient Forge' waypoint, past the lava pools and across the collapsing bridge.
