⚒️ Forged Anew II: Enemies Below
This is the second installment in our dwarf-focused Forged Anew series, and it dives deep beneath the stone into familiar ground… Khaz-Narak.
Built to pair perfectly with the Khaz-Narak map released a few months ago, Enemies Below throws your party straight into the aftermath of hard-won victory — and the dangers that lurk beneath it.
Adventure Summary
The party are part of an expedition sent from the port of Hurak-Durm, tasked with recovering powerful magic items to help break a siege by green-skins. Fresh from defeating a tenacious orc force and reclaiming access to the dwarven city of Khaz-Narak, celebrations ring through the halls… briefly.
Those celebrations are violently interrupted.
A renewed green-skin assault forces the party to sweep the lower levels of the city to fully secure it. Along the way, they are also charged with locating Glimmer, an incredibly rare, gem-like substance that forms at planar intersections and fuels the greatest dwarven rune-forges.
Pursuing routed enemies through rough tunnels, the party witnesses those same foes being violently swept from an earthen bridge spanning an ominous chasm. The fiery creature responsible is clearly not native to Khaz-Narak. To continue deeper, the party must defeat it and press onward into the city’s depths.
Eventually, they reach a sealed vault containing the most closely guarded secrets of the Ironvein Clan, recently driven from the city. Within lie lost histories, sacred forging techniques, caches of glimmer — and a defiled temple harboring an unstable planar rift.
Whatever is on the other side is already trying to get through.
The party must hold the line, defeat whatever emerges, and seal the rift to ensure the future safety of Khaz-Narak.
