Unradiance Hall

Template:Spoiler:Path of Entanglement

Unradiance Hall was a dungeon encountered by the Entangled when they were detouring along the roads between Khaz Theryujak and Khaz Duersterkrak during the Path of Entanglement Campaign. The dungeon was under the control of Ironwall Goblins and the party ended up fighting their way through the dungeon in order to continue upon their path. The name of the dungeon comes from an artifact which was recovered within it, the Orb of Unradiance. The Entangled engaged a party of the ironwall goblins who were prominent adventurers in their own right, the Knights of the Orb. The Entangled discovered the orb and were attacked by the Knights of the Orb, and eventually left the dungeon

Layout

The dungeon consisted mostly of an Upper Gate and Lower Gate connected by a winding, sloping passage - this passage contained several right-angled turns to seemingly no purpose other than increasing its length. Near the upper gate, a crumbling section of wall allowed access between the Crooked Passage and the corridors that joined the rooms in the Living Complex. Across from this, the Orb Chamber was accessible through a brassy gate. From there, it was possible to access the Entry Chamber of the Living Complex by means of a subterranean passage. A corridor lead from the living complex into a control room by means of which either gate could be opened.

Orb Chamber

The Orb of Unradiance was stored upon a plinth on one of this chamber. The chamber itself was richly figured with the bas-relief pictographic warnings common in constructs of the Pre-Baghari Culture. These carvings figured a multitude of workers labouring under the protection of an aura projected by a figure holding the orb aloft, with that aura seemingly holding back an outside influence in the form of rays carved into the stone that was killing the workers outside it.

Mechanisms in the Orb's plinth caused the door that linked this chamber to the Crooked Passage to lock or unlock itself based on the Orb's presence - if the Orb was stowed on the plinth, the door was locked.

Alongside the Orb of Unradiance the Entangled left the dungeon with a collection of Prebaghari Drachmae and a chainmail shirt made of Adamantium, along with fragments of the Journal of Zarfu Cleverest. The party also took one of the Knights of the Orb, Zorn the Unbreakable, as a prisoner.
