Village of Muldar Lohk Mulvar

Located on the large island north of Avros, a small gray castle can be seen tucked into the snowy terrain of the Roons Mountain Range. This castle overlooks the village of Muldar Lohk Mulvar and the mine which is located to the southeast of the castle. This place is not meant for a novice adventurer nor the faint of heart.

Following the example of the unscrupulous, tyrannical baron of the castle, Baron Kreash Mulvar, the inhabitants of the village are vindictive and cruel not hesitating to use slave labor to perform the mining work. Access to the mines and mining camp is regulated by gate guards from whom the formidable adventurer can gain a gate key, although the wise adventurer knows that magic can also often open similar gates.

Being visible in the mines will cause the cruel, heartless hobgoblin slavers to try to create slaves out of adventurers found wandering in the mines. To feed the slaves, the Baron has hired a kobold, Kraz, to ensure that the slaves have enough strength to work in the mines. Perhaps he will ask for your help in finding ingredients for his soup pot. While the mine provides the main source of income for the Baron, it is supplemented by sales from merchants who come from far and wide to sell their wares at the Merchant Shack to buyers, including the fat hobgoblin merchant.

The castle gate is so heavily fortified it would be futile to try to enter through there. A secret entrance, however, located in a rocky outcropping allows entrance to the castle. Once inside the castle, the strength of Muldar Lohk Mulvar can be seen in full. The court wizard, Kraaa, is not to be bothered unless you have obtained a diamond. The strong castle guards will attack all visible intruders. A peryton watch guard, which is an odd-looking bird-like creature and keeps watch from the heights of the watchtower, will do likewise. Although, this guard's eyesight is so keen that even invisible beings will not escape its view. However, to be feared the most is the Baron Mulvar, his advisor, and personal guard. They are the fiercest of all the beings found in the village, camp, or castle. So strong are they with their equipment, that they can prevent all intruders from fleeing from them and annihilate even a stout, and strong warrior quickly. However, if one can best these fierce warriors, the rewards can be great.

• The Mark of Conspiracy can be obtained by helping the court wizard find stolen diamonds.
• The Baron (as well as his advisor and personal guard) has useful equipment for a high-third classer, but beware as he can do massive amounts of damage, is aggressive, and you cannot flee from him.
• Kraz, the master chef occasionally will request an adventurer to gather some ingredients for his cooking pot.
• The northern shores of Avros allows recall to this area.
