The main hall of Grymforge.

Grymforge is a Location in the Underdark in Chapter One. It encompasses the legendary Adamantine Forge and the lesser Ancient Forge, also known as the Abandoned Refuge.

Built by worshippers of the Lady of Loss in the time immemorium, this long-abandoned fortress has been recently given a second life, with the forces of the Absolute scittering 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 commading a group of enslaved Ironhands gnomes to free the commander of the local special forces, 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.
