Synopsis: Undead have taken over the southeast comer of the town. When the party goes there, be sure it is during the daylight hours-darkness always brings out more roving monsters.

Wandering Monsters: Undead will be found in the southeast comer of the city until the area is cleared. Each monster group may appear twice.
Objective: Defeat Lord Geildarr and his Zhentarim supporters that are attacking this Dwarven city. These are the remnants of the Zhentarim army from Gateway to the Savage Frontier. Lord Geildarr is located in the keep below the city east of Event 6.
Experience: There is plenty of experience here. Make sure to search each area and engage all encounters. Most of the battles here are straight-forward, although the Driders can cast Fire Shield which can be deadly to melee fighters. There are few magic-users here.
Quests: This is a continuation of the plot explored in Gateway to the Savage Frontier. After the city is liberated, the main plot will begin.
Leaving: After clearing out Llorkh and Lord Geildarr’s keep below the city, train your characters then head west to Loudwater.
Llorkh was originally founded by Netherese refugees fleeing the downfall of Netheril, sometime after its fall in the Year of Sundered Webs, −339 DR. The neighboring settlement of Loudwater was founded around the same time.
Later on, further settlement of Llorkh and Loudwater, as well as Longsaddle, Secomber, Triboar, and others, was undertaken by pioneers from Waterdeep after the establishment of the Lords of Waterdeep there in 1032 DR. These pioneers were sponsored by noble and mercantile Waterdhavian families.
Llorkh grew to become a sleepy mining town, its people busy working mines in the nearby hills and farming the surrounding land. The town was led by a series of lords, well-respected, retired miners and warriors. However, production soon started to wane and Llorkh began to dwindle. Only stubborn miners and many sheepherders were expected to remain.
