Dwarven Valley

   The Dwarven Valley is a deep rift in Icewind Dale, located along the southern slopes of the mountain called Kelvin's Cairn. Within the valley is a complex network of tunnels, subterranean passages and mines that composed the home of the dale's dwarves, particularly those from Clan Battlehammer.
   The valley holds two dwarven halls, dug into the western and eastern walls. Each holding comprised their respective living quarters, dining areas, storerooms, armories, and at the heart of either hall, their forge. Beyond the dwarf-holds is a vast tunnel system that continued out into a number of mines. Some of these were abandoned, as the valuable ore found within had been entirely dug up. Among the minerals found within the mines was a substance they called black ice. This was in-fact a remnant of the malevolent monolith of Cryshal-Tirith.
