Hero's Hearth, 8315 Beechmont Ave, Cincinnati, OH, USWant to learn to play D&D? Join us for a journey into the world's greatest role-playing game!
Two hundred years ago, the great dwarf smith Durgeddin the Black built Khundrukar, a hidden stronghold for his war of vengeance against all orckind. For years Durgeddin labored, until the orcs discovered Khundrukar and stormed the citadel, slaying all within. Legends say that Durgeddin's masterful blades and glittering treasures were never found.
Baron Althon wants to hire you to search for the legendary cache of weapons forged by the smith. He has a broken blade with Durgeddin's mark that was found near the rocky hill called Stone Tooth. He will pay richly for information, detailed maps, and any blades recovered.
