Ebonlake Grotto is in the northeastern corner of the [[Underdark]], and Sovereign Spaw is on a mushroom platform in the heart of the Grotto (X:78, Y:-102). As the party approaches the Grotto, a group of myconids approach and confront them on why they are in the Underdark. There are several options to enter the Grotto peacefully:

Once things have been resolved peacefully with the sovereign, it explains that a group of Duergar slaughtered the myconids and greatly reduced their numbers. The duergar responsible are still lurking within the Underdark and the myconid circle is imperiled unless they are defeated. Spaw asks the party to deal with these duergar. Agreeing to help initiates the quest.

The duergar are in the [[Decrepit Village]] to the southwest (X:11, Y:-195). If [[Thulla]] is cured in [[Cure the Poisoned Gnome]], she marks their location on the map. The duergars in question are led by [[Gekh Coal]], who instantly becomes hostile if the party recruited [[Glut]] for [[Avenge Glut's Circle]]. Gekh Coal is joined by several duergar allies - [[Lurgan]], [[Holvik]], and [[Novice Garmor]]. Several [[Reanimated Corpse|Reanimated Corpses]] are also controlled by the duergar.

Once the duergar are dealt with, return to Spaw. He thanks the party and tells them their reward is opened. [[Guardian Gate]] (X:56, Y:-89) which holds the treasure is north of Spaw's location. Most of the important items are on a pale corpse, including a book needed for [[The Adamantine Forge (Quest)|The Adamantine Forge]].

Spaw names the party Peacebringer, and tells them it has one more quest for them. There is a Drow called [[Nere]] in [[Grymforge]] who has also hurt the myconids. Spaw wants his head brought to it, starting [[Deliver Nere's Head]].
