Deep within the northern Desertsmouth Mountains lie the ruined Mines of Tethyamar, a once-proud dwarven stronghold now echoing with emptiness. Vertical shafts plunge into the mountain's heart, connecting vast chambers carved for housing, forges, and tombs, all now choked with dust and the remnants of a lost civilization. Founded in −145 DR by Roryn of the Iron House, Tethyamar thrived, its wealth flowing from rich ore veins until the rise of Flostren's Hold sparked bitter rivalry. The once-bustling halls, designed for trade and dwarven life, are now silent, a testament to the orcish horde that overran them in 1104 DR. Broken tools, scattered bones, and the lingering scent of decay mark the site, a dangerous labyrinth haunted by the echoes of its former glory. The mines, though located near the Sea of Fallen Stars and not directly within Anauroch, offer a perilous delve into the past, promising both treasure and peril to those who dare to explore its depths.
The entrance to the mines is marked by grand stone archways adorned with ancient dwarven runes, leading into a labyrinth of dark tunnels illuminated by flickering torchlight. The air is thick with the scent of metal and earth, echoing with the distant sounds of dripping water and the faint clanging of long-abandoned forges.
