Dhourn is one of many petrified drow west of the Selûnite Outpost. An easy way to get to Dhourn is by entering the Outpost near the statue of Selûne and move to the broken window (X:141, Y:-240). Walk through it and climb down the knotted roots. Continue moving west and a cutscene triggers where the party moves past the droves of petrified drow. A [[Spectator]] appears and attacks the party. On its first turn, it resurrects drow, typically starting with Dhourn.

After this, he and any unpetrified drow attack the party, as he sees them as possible rivals. | ||
An Arcana check (DC 10) is needed to probe the thoughts within the shard.

[[Xargrim]] can be found beyond the [[Guardian Gate]] (X:55, Y:-88) in [[Ebonlake Grotto]]. The gate is to the north of where [[Sovereign Spaw]] is located.
