A collapsed dwarven treasury partially buried by an ancient earthquake. Treasure hunters regularly brave its unstable corridors.
A jagged crack in the mountainside opens into what was once a grand vault hall, now buckled and split by seismic devastation. Massive stone doors hang askew on broken hinges, revealing corridors where the floor has dropped away into darkness. Gold coins are embedded in the rubble like fossils, and the remains of mechanical traps still click and whir despite centuries of neglect. The deeper chambers remain sealed — whether by design or debris, no one has yet determined.
