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.
Access
The entry to Grymforge is through the Decrepit Village, Underdark X: -7 Y: -210 by taking the skiff from the beach docks.
Areas
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 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.
Abandoned Temple
This area primarily occupies the north-eastern region of the location map. It is accessed either through a set of locked and hidden doors east of the entry docks, or through the upper floors of Grymforge when progressing from the north-western cave-in. Many dangerous creatures have found home in these desolate halls, such as Ochre Jelly or Hellsboars.
Ancient Forge
To the far south of Grymforge, through a series of contraptions and ruins, you can find entry to the Abandoned Refuge, also known as the Ancient Forge, and 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 can be of help to find new paths through the terrain.
Adamantine Forge
If you continue on the Ancient Forge route, you will eventually meet the magnum opus of a long-forgotten Sharran blacksmith - the legendary 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.
