Description
This is an explorable area that looks like a dungeon. It can be entered from the Ice Cliff Chasms through a portal behind an impressive monumental arch almost due West of the entrance to the outpost Eye of the North; or a portal in a shallow cave in the extreme SouthEast corner of Varajar Fells. The main chamber is in the center of the Northern part of the map, containing Dwarven heroes that have important quests and a resurrection shrine. The route to the chamber from the Southern entrance (Ice Cliff Chasms) along the Northern edge of the map has Wisps in packs of 2-4, the route to the entrance from Eye of the North has no foes at all. The Varajar Fells portal opens directly into this chamber but getting to the portal in Varajar Fells involves killing or avoiding lots. There is a dungeon, Heart of the Shiverpeaks, in the Southwest corner of the very small map. That dungeon has an alternative entrance to another dungeon Bogroot Growths that, in turn, has a Stargate-type portal to Sparkfly Swamp. The Heart of the Shiverpeaks is reached via the Southern exit from the chamber through some Wisps - the drakes can be bypassed. Once the dungeon has been completed, through the quest Destruction's Depths - step 8 in the main sequence Against the Destroyers - a map-reachable site, the outpost Central Transfer Chamber opens directly into the main chamber, as well.
