Vandra Hillborn, leader of the dwarven expedition seeking Gauntlgrym in 1479 DR. Fireguard Fortress, an old dwarfhold that dated back to the lost realm of Delzoun. Firecross Bridge, a great bridge that spanned one of the many chasms that wound across the mountain. River of Flame, the flowing river of liquid flame found within the deepest reaches of the mountain. Heartleaf's Garden, a single surviving tree that was tended by the dryad Heartleaf. Fiery Pit, the chasm within the lowest depths of Mount Hotenow, and the prison of one of the lost Dawn Titans. Charred Woods, the once-vibrant forest that was scorched by the volcano's eruption. Caverns of Karrundax, the network caverns and tunnels that wound throughout the mountain, formed around an underground earthmote claimed by the red dragon after which it was named. And following the Spellplague, in Neverwinter and Helm's Hold there was an often-told tale that suggested anyone who dared to enter its caves was to cursed to die in a fire within one year. Others claimed that it had a secret entrance to Gauntlgrym. Some believed that it sat atop a passage to the Nine Hells or a gateway to the Elemental Chaos. Throughout recorded history there had been many legends surrounding Mount Hotenow. In the Year of the Ageless One, 1479 DR, a dwarven expedition led by Vandra Hillborn ventured into Mount Hotenow in hopes to find an entrance to Gauntlgrym. Having felt a shared "rapturous awakening" during the volcano's eruption they sought to re-awaken Maegera from her slumber once again. Over the next few decades the Cult of Maegera led by the mad giant Gommoth emerged within Mount Hotenow, attracting many of its fire-worshiping denizens. The eruption entirely destroyed the settlement of Thundertree. The resultant earthquake and combination of smoke and lava destroyed much of Neverwinter, killing thousands. This briefly awoke the primordial Maegera, who, in a fit of rage, released a burst of energy so powerful that it forced the eruption of the volcano. There, the latter two were betrayed by their Thayan allies, with Athrogate hypnotically forced to activate the forge. The party, consisting of Dahlia Sin'felle, Korvin Dor'crae, Valindra Shadowmantle, Athrogate, and Jarlaxle Baenre, made it all the way to the legendary forges. In the Year of Knowledge Unearthed, 1451 DR, a small adventuring party rediscovered the ancient dwarven city of Gauntlgrym beneath the volcano. Since Neverwinter‘s founding, Mount Hotenow featured in the bedtime stories and urban legends of the city inhabitants as the home of fire giants, the fearsome red dragon Karrundax, and many other blazing beasts. The slopes of Mount Hotenow following its eruption While on its slopes could be found elemental weevils. įollowing the Spellplague, creatures that could be found within Mount Hotenow included bloodfire oozes, fire archons, fire bats, fire beetles, galeb duhrs, flamespiders, geonids, magma beasts, salamanders, volcanic dragons, and xorn. The volcano also had a tendency to attract creatures like fire giants and red dragons to make their homes near it. Following the eruption, deposits of rare black diamonds were found in the crater's rim. Within Mount Hotenow were largely untapped deposits of alum, nitre, and sal ammoniac. A river made of pure elemental fire followed a serpentine path throughout Hotenow's interior and underneath the surrounding mountains and hills of the Crags. The devastated landscape of Mount Hotenow.Īfter its eruption, Mount Hotenow looked like a set of serrated teeth many described as a "door to the Nine Hells" (or the Elemental Chaos, according to others).
