The Warrens

This cavern system located deep within the Stonebrunt Mountains of Odus connects the untamed beauty of Stonebrunt's wilderness to the eastern portion of the continent. The Warren's eastern entrance is located in the Heretic city of Paineel – a fact that is not highly appreciated by the inhabitants of the dark city.

A winding, maze-like complex of ruins and earthen structures, the Warrens are quite similar in nature to the untouched Underfoot, what the kobolds call their native home.

The structures are from a time long since forgotten by all but the kobolds of the Warrens, considered mere fantasy by the desperate kobolds living elsewhere upon Norrath.

A great citadel once resided here – one of kobold design and origin, for the kobolds were once Brell's chosen before they were forgotten when Brell's other creations came into existence. It is said that when Brell turned his eye away from his first children, he consigned them to a tormented existence filled with hatred for the other Brellian races, who likewise shunned them.

It is here, in the Warrens, that the kobolds have gained some semblance of their former heritage and glory, as they strive to renew their legacy as the first chosen of their god, rather than the forgotten. However, they do so not in the name of Brell, for in their ancient collective despair, one of their own ascended and became a lightning rod for their resurrected faith – Rolfron Zek, the Lord of Despair.
