Deeping Cave, lair of the green dragon Claugiyliamatar.Cult stronghold, a temporary, fortified settlement established by the Cult of the Dragon.In the late 1490s DR, Xenk Yendar led a party comprising Edgin Davis, Holga Kilgore, Simon Aumar, and Doric into the Kryptgarden Forest to find the orifice into the Underdark. Īround the Year of the Scarlet Witch, 1491 DR, the undead servants of Ularun Mortus passed through Kryptgarden in an ongoing assault against the lair of Claugiyliamatar. Old Gnawbone herself was injured while blows were struck against the Red Wizards of Thay, the Cult of the Dragon, and the Zartruss hobgoblin clan. The cult's Green Dragon Mask was recovered from the lair of Claugiyliamatar in Kryptgarden Forest. In the Year of the Warrior Princess, 1489 DR, the Five Factions all gathered in the forest to deal with the rising threat of the renewed Cult of the Dragon. The green dragon Claugiyliamatar established her lair within the Kryptgarden Forest in the Year of the Evening Sun, 1303 DR. When Illefarn fell circa −1100 DR, the elf realm broke up into several smaller states of these, Rilithar encompassed Kryptgarden Forest. The surface-dwelling dwarves of the briefling flourishing realm of Besilmer, from −4420 DR to −4160 DR, also had borders reaching Kryptgarden Forest.
History ĭuring the era of the First Flowering, the forest that later came to be known as Kryptgarden was a part of the ancient elven realm of Illefarn, which was founded circa −22,900 DR. Some logging also went on around the edges in the mid-1300s DR. They'd stopped by the late 1400s DR after some of their fellows went missing. Activities įolk from Westbridge hunted animals along the eastern edges of the forest during the 1300s DR, but did not dare go deeper than a few hours on foot. Small game animals lived in the forest, but few larger creatures dwelled within, as they were readily eaten by Kryptgarden's most fearsome predator, the dragon Claugiyliamatar. Rejected names: hole, pit, mouth, sinkhole, and shaft.Ī deep hole in the ground-known to some as "the orifice"-in the red forest east of the Sword Mountains led to the Underdark and a passage to the Hanging City of Dolblunde. Following the passage of Volothamp Geddarm through the area, the forest received more visitors than it had in decades, disturbing a number of treants and blights. Geographical Features Ī portion of Kryptgarden south of Phandalin was known as the Crooked Forest because some of the trees there had been bent by ancient creatures that dwelled there to indicate paths through the forest. The forest contained many ruins of bygone dwarven civilizations. Parts of the wood had an unexplained reddish hue about the forest floor and the bases of the trees in the late 1400s DR. Kryptgarden was a hilly woodland was covered in a thick layer of foul-smelling fog. It was an old-growth forest and local humans knew little of what lay within as of the mid-1300s DR. It lay just west of the Long Road and the village of Westbridge and north of Waterdeep. It was located east of the Sword Mountains.

The name also seemed to originate in the orc realm called Uruth Ukrypt, meaning "Home of Uruth" in Orcish, that rose in the Sword Mountains in the 10 th century DR. The forest was itself sometimes called Southkrypt Garden.
The name 'Kryptgarden' arose from the dwarfhold known as Southkrypt Garden, which stood in the north.
