Built by worshippers of the [[Shar|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 encampment===
===Duergar encampment===
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, one must traverse through the Abandoned Temple to the north-east, or blast through a smaller cave-in to the north-west.

If you continue on the Ancient Forge route, you will eventually meet the magnum opus of a long-forgotten Sharran blacksmith - the legendary [[Adamantine Forge (Location)|Admantine Forge]], rumored to be 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.
