Description

The Dwarven Catacombs were once a series of mines laced with   
veins of gold and silver. After many years, they were emptied  
of all valuable minerals and abandoned. As time passed,        
monsters began to inhabit the forsaken mines. Some even say a  
dragon has taken up residence here. It is a well known fact    
that a cult of templars has claimed the dark tunnels as their  
own and has established a stronghold deep beneath the earth.
