Information

Chardalyn crystals are plentiful in the ruins under Kelvini's Cairn. Their magic once helped keep Kelvin's floating city in the clouds.

But now, duergar had moved in to mine the chardalyn from the city's ruins and were trucking it down deep into the catacombs.

Four runeswords contrlled the entrance to the lower mines, and we would have to light them all to press deeper into the duergar operation.
