The Steamfont Mountains are also home to the minotaurs – bipedal humanoids with the legs and head of a bull – who inhabit the mines in the south. These creatures are extremely ill tempered and ferocious in their protection of the mines. Living among them is the dreaded Minotaur Hero, a powerful warrior who, when his ire is boiled to the brink with the deaths of his kin, will furiously prowl the mountains in search of someone to strike down with his mighty axe.

The mines are controlled by the mad gnomish necromancer, Meldrath. All who dare enter are advised to bring with them reliable companions, for his minotaur guards are extremely hostile and very protective of one another.

The Steamfont Mountains play a very important role for all young gnomish adventurers. It provides the only training ground beyond the gates of Ak`anon, a first step for pupils beginning their journey of discovery upon Norrath. A great variety of fascinating and unique creatures thrive in this beautiful mountain area, making the thrill of the hunt all the more enjoyable. This region can also be useful to the mid-seasoned adventurer.
