Uldaman

Uldaman is an ancient titan vault buried deep within the earth. It is said the titans sealed away a failed experiment there and then moved on to a new project, related to the genesis of the dwarves. Tales of a fabled treasure containing great knowledge have enticed would-be treasure hunters to dig deeper into the secrets of Uldaman, a task made perilous by the presence of stone defenders, savage troggs, Dark Iron invaders, and other dangers lurking in the lost city.

The adventurers have come to Ulduar to uncover its secrets and recover its lost treasures.

1a. Excavation Center

Surrounded by several massive titan-built pillars is the tunnel down into the Uldaman Excavation. Inside, a dug out cavern is held up with wooden pillars and scaffolding and lit by magically glowing lanterns. Abandoned Explorers' League tents and supplies ring the cavern, long since ransacked by either troggs or the Dark Iron dwarves. A few of these dwarves remain in this chamber, pilfering the wreckage for anything useful. Upon seeing the adventurers, they will flee down a tunnel in the center of the cavern down into towards Dig One and the Sealed Hall. The party can use this same tunnel to make their way down to Dig One and the Reliquary waiting there.

1b. Dig One

Tunnel leads to an overlook looking down into Dig One. A massive underground chamber holds more supplies and tents. These, however, are adorned with the symbols of Silvermoon and the Reliquary. Elven guards and excavators patrol the area, protecting their holdings from any potential incursions from the Dark iron dwarves and troggs that surround them.

At the north end of the cavern is a massive stone arch leading into the Hall of Keepers. Ornamented pillars and masterfully carved stone statues of the keepers hold up the entryway to Uldaman.

From the overlook, a rickety crane hangs over the cavern below providing a potential, if risky, way down to the Reliquary camp. Alternatively, a ramp leads south and downwards. Heading down this ramp leads to a fork in the tunnel. Turning east will lead the adventurers into a set of passages that continue on to the Sealed Hall and the South Common Hall. These passages have another fork. To the southeast is the Sealed Hall currently held by Dark Iron dwarves. To the southwest is the trogg infested South Common Hall.

Continuing south down the ramp, instead of taking the first fork, leads down into the bottom of Dig One. Once down in the bottom of the cavern the adventurers can speak with the Reliquary guards who will point them towards the arch leading into Uldaman so they can speak to High Examiner Tae'thelan Bloodwatcher. From the camp, another tunnel leads west to the North Common Hall and the Stonevault troggs that inhabit it. The guards will warn the adventurers of this fact.

1c. The Sealed Hall

In the eastern stretches of the excavation tunnels outside Uldaman is the entrance to the Sealed Hall. In these naturally cut tunnels, a Dark Iron expedition, cut off from their leader, continues to excavate the area. Jealously guarded supplies and uncovered titan artifacts are stockpiled in pockets of the caverns.

Inside these tunnels are two groups of Dark Iron soldiers that will attack any intruders. Roll from this section's Random Encounter Table to determine each of these groups.

1d. South Common Hall

At the end of the southern tunnels is an uncovered titan built chamber. The cavern before it is littered with the bodies of Dark Iron dwarves and troggs at various stages of decay and the guttural sound trogg speech can be heard from inside the chamber.

Empty stone shelves and benches line the interior of the South Common Hall. Intricately carved stone pillars hold up a jade and marble tiled roof. Identical tiling covers the floor of the room. Ornamenting the chamber's walls are faded bas reliefs depicting ancient heroes long forgotten.

2a. Reliquary Base Camp

The antechamber of the Hall of the Keepers contains the Reliquary Base Camp. Blood elves dressed in simple white clothing and leather armor mill about the room, their hoods and masks pulled up to protect them from dust and debris. Their glowing eyes are busy inspecting various titan relics they have already recovered from the Titan's vault.

At the far end of the room stands two crimson Silvermoon banners. Between them floats High Examiner Tae'thelan Bloodwatcher, founder of the Reliquary, flanked by his lieutenants, Aoren and Lidia Sunglow. These twin blood elves are skilled in titan lore and combat, respectively. Narrow halls manned by wary guards lead to the north and south, both ending in the Central Hall. The rough sounds of troggs echo down these darkened halls.

Assailed by the Dark Iron dwarves and troggs, not to mention Uldaman's guardians, the Reliquary are currently considering their options before descending deeper into the Titan's vault. With the adventurers' assistance, however, they may be able to overcome the obstacles that hampered their progress before.

Speaking to each blood elf leader will provide the party with quests to assist the Reliquary with uncovering the secrets held within the guarded vaults of Uldaman. The adventurers should present themselves to the High Examiner first to see how to get started with assisting the Reliquary in their expedition into Uldaman.

Lidia Sunglow

A female blood elf, Lidia Sunglow, dressed in golden armor over white clothing stands guard beside the High Examiner. She is in command of the soldiers accompanying the expedition. Most of her face is obscured by a simple white cover and her short white hair matches her twin's who stands nearby.

Lidia Sunglow will task the adventurers with taking down the Dark Iron leader who is currently trapped within Dig Three, deeper into Uldaman. Not only has he sent raiding parties to attack the Reliquary, he also stands in the way of a possible discovery.

Revelosh

Some luminaries in Ironforge's prestigious Explorers' League have theorized an ancestral link between their people and the troggs, and pointed towards the troggs' hoarding of titan artifacts as a reflection of the dwarves' own reverence for such wondrous devices. If that is true, the trogg known as Revelosh can be considered the trogg equivalent of an archaeologist, although any historically minded adventurers who encounter him would be more inclined to call him a thief.

Revelosh (marked by a green skull on the map) will defend his collection with his life. While quick to violence, he will avoid being in melee combat.

Once Revelosh has been defeated, the party can loot The Shaft of Tsol.

Random Encounter Table

A ramp on the west side of the dig leads up to the dwarf encampment. At the top of the natural incline, a fat blue shirted dwarf, Olaf, stands at a makeshift barricade wielding only a battered shield. Behind him are two more dwarves, Baelog and Eric, in green and red, respectively. They suspiciously aim bow and slingshot at any who approach their camp.

As proud dwarves and contractors of the Explorers' League, They are wary of any Horde adventurers and will refuse to give up any of their artifacts to them. They are in possession of the second half of the Staff of Prehistoria, the Gni'kiv Medallion.

4a. Map Room

The western exit of the Hall of the Keepers leads out to a large natural cavern known as the Map Chamber. It gets its name from the the stone replica of Uldaman built into the middle of the cavern floor. More troggs are in this room, pilfering abandoned tents and supplies. Roll from the Central Hall's Random Encounter Table to determine which troggs are scattered about the room.

Having gathered and reassembled the pieces of the Staff of Prehistoria, the party can use it conjunction with the map to open the Chamber of Khaz'mul, whose massive sealed doors are built into the western wall of this chamber. On the stone map, the replica representing The Hall of the Keepers has a socket in the top of it that can fit the reassembled staff. Inserting it into the keystone activates the staff. An otherworldly blue beam manifests from the head of the staff and begins to scan the replica. It ends its scan pointing to a building on the northeastern end of the map. This structure is labelled, the Hall of the Crafters.

The blue beam of energy the returns to the staff before shooting across the room to the doors of the Chamber of Khaz'Mul. The energy channels into the doors, outlining them in a blue glow. They then rumble open and out steps a 20 foot tall stone woman, Ironaya. She is dressed in flowing robes made of pure copper and wields a 10 foot tall hammer. She attacks any who would dare to invade Uldaman and interrupt her slumber.

Once Ironaya is defeated, the party can enter the Chamber of Khaz'mul. To the north, a tunnel deeper into Uldaman via the Central Tunnels. Through these twisting passages lies the path to the Hall of the Crafters.

4b. Chamber of Khaz'Mul

With Ironaya defeated, the wonders of the Chamber of Khaz'Mul are opened to the adventurers. Upon entering the vault, however, they are greeted only with empty stone shelves and broken urns, filled only with cobwebs.

5a. Winding Tunnels

The Winding Tunnels contain many dangers. For every section of the tunnels the party explores, you can choose one of the follow encounters or design your own.

From these tunnels, the party can access many locations in Uldaman (refer to the map). Heading southwest leads to Echomok Cavern and the Obsidian Sentinel. To the northwest are the Northern Tunnels. Turning north leads to Temple Hall. Heading east also leads to Temple Hall but also passes by Annora's Camp.

5b. Echomok Cavern

THis cavern is occupied by a contingent of Dark Iron dwarves. They have set up a camp consisting of tents and piles of supplies. Unlike the rest the party has seen within Uldaman, these tents and supplies are clean, well-ordered, and look almost new. Roll from this section's Random Encounter Table to determine the dwarves residing in this well-kempt camp.

Random Encounter Table

The western entrance is through a small well maintained antechamber. Approaching from the north or south leads through natural tunnels that the Earthen are attempting to seal so as to protect Temple Hall from any invaders.

The main chamber of the hall depicts the Pantheon and their exploits in grand murals painted across the walls. Tapered pillars line the hall, leading towards a platform on the northern end of the room. On top tis platform is the Ancient Stone Keeper, a centuries old guardian of Uldaman and its wonders. It does not take kindly to those who would trespass on its protected hallowed grounds.

Ancient Stone Keeper

One of many golems that staffed and operated the great titan vault, the Ancient Stone Keeper was part of a small group that served as an intermediary between the watchers left in control of the facility and their many servants. With the corruption of the Obsidian Sentinel, the Ancient Stone Keeper is the last of its kind, performing its duty by protecting the secrets of the titans as best it can until its inevitable shutdown.

The Ancient Stone Keeper (marked by a purple skull on the map) is a powerful stone guardian of Uldaman. He harries his foes with his fists and by conjuring whirling sand storms.

When the Ancient Stone Keeper is defeated, the party may loot Cragfists and Titan Power Core.

6a. Scorpid Pit

The Southernmost cavern is a nexus of tunnels leading to nearly every part of northern Uldaman. This chamber, however, has become infested with venomous scorpid. Their skittering and clacking drowns out all other sounds. Most of the room is a shallow pit, carpeted with the deadly creatures. To avoid this pit, the characters must either traverse the cavern walls or use half-rotted scaffolding. Both of these require succeeding on a DC 14 Athletics or Acrobatics check, respectively. If this check is failed, the 2d2 Swarms of Cleft Scorpid will rise to attack those unfortunate enough to fall into their domain.

Successfully crossing the pit will lead the party to one of two tunnels. The west tunnel leads to Dig Three. The sound of dwarves and mining echoes down the soot-stained passage.

The northern tunnel forks to the west and east. The coarse sound of trogg speech and the smell of roasting flesh drifts in from both directions. To the northwest is the Stone Chamber, the residence of Grimlok, chieftain of the Stonevault Troggs. Heading east leads to the Hall of the Crafters and the secrets that await within its forgotten walls.

6b. Dig Three

As the party nears Dig Three, they approach a short barricade manned by two Shadowforge Archaeologists. They are watching for any approachers and have two dark iron blunderbusses mounted on tripods pointed out into the tunnel. A creature can use the following action while manning these weapons:

If the dwarves see the party they will raise an alarm rousing a group of their allies to rush to their aid. This group is within Dig Three even if the guards do not warn them of the oncoming adventurers. Roll from this section's Random Encounter Table to determine this group.

Shrink. All hostile creatures within 5 ft. must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be reduced by one size and have disadvantage on Strength and Constitution checks for 15 seconds. This effect does not stack.

Grimlok

In trogg society, the biggest, strongest, and most vicious trogg often becomes chieftain through displays of power. Grimlok is a comparative genius in that he has maintained control of the Stonevault troggs through intimidation and what might be considered crude psychological warfare. Having trained a deadly basilisk, Grimlok uses the threat of petrification by his beast to keep any would-be usurpers in line.

Grimlok (marked by a red skull on the map) is a skilled sorcerer who relies on his pet basilisk to keep enemies far from him. If he is surrounded, he will shrink his foes.

When Grimlok is defeated, the party can loot Grimlok's Charge.

7a. Crafters' Courtyard

Just outside the imposing doors of the hall itself is a massive cavern. It once was an stately courtyard, greeting those who came to the Hall fo the Crafters. Now, it has become a battlefield, war torn and broken.

The southern end of the chamber is held by hulking Stonevault troggs. A group of 2d2 Stonevault Brawlers and 1d2 Stonevault Geomancers have erected a makeshift camp behind a ramshackle barricade to protect them from the defenders of the hall. They are focused on watching for any attacks from the north and may not notice the party as it approaches from the south.

The middle of the cavern is littered with the broken bodies of Earthen defenders and crushed trogg corpses. Neither side is willing to venture into this no-man's land without purpose.

Across the broken expanse is the proud facade of the Hall of the Crafters. Standing guard behind a barricade built from the broken stone bodies of their fallen brothers are the Earthen and their stone protectors. No others are worthy of the titan's knowledge and they will fight to the death to protect the secrets held within the structure behind them. Roll from this section's random encounter table to determine the composition of the Earthen guardians.

Archaedas

"Who dares awaken Archaedas? Who dares the wrath of the Makers?"

Deep within Uldaman is a chamber containing one of the greatest treasures of the titans, created by Norgannon himself. However, thus far no explorers have managed to gain access to the relic, for any attempt at doing so activates the great watcher Archaedas, an immense guardian who easily dispatches treasure seekers through his powerful attacks and a veritable army of servants. Crafted from some of the oldest, strongest stone taken from Uldaman's depths, Archaedas is a foe as formidable as he is ancient.

Archaedas (marked by a green skull on the map) is an ancient servant of the titans and now stands guard over Uldaman's greatest secrets. At his command is a veritable army of earthen waiting to be awakened. Before they are activated, his soldiers are resistant to all damage.

When Archaedas is defeated, the party may loot the Archaedic Stone.

Dig Two

Since the Lost Dwarves are contractors of the Explorers' League, they are not hostile to the adventurers.

Instead, the party must help defend them from several waves of troggs (use the Dig Two Random Encounter Table). Once the troggs are defeated, the adventurers can help the Lost Dwarves return to the Explorers' League base camp. They will be rewarded with the Gni'kiv Medallion for their valuable assistance.
