| Hearthforge is the dwarven name for the former cave-hall that the goblin, orc, and giant horde seized before [[campaigns:latitude_history:adventures:fires-at-the-fjordgate|Fires at the Fjordgate]]. Grimnar's people speak of it as their old stone home, with Hearthforge Hall as the great central hall where the ritual to wake Thullgrim was stopped. The entrance sits in a mountain pass between a tall northern mountain and a larger southern mountain. The cave entrance is on the northern face of the southern mountain. | Hearthforge is the dwarven name for the former cave-hall that the goblin, orc, and giant horde seized before [[campaigns:latitude_history:adventures:fires-at-the-fjordgate|Fires at the Fjordgate]].

| The area in front of the cave was used by the horde as a headquarters, war-wagon yard, and main camp. By the time the the adventuring party arrived, most of the army had already marched away and been defeated at [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:nidaross|Niðaróss]], leaving the site mostly empty except for a small remnant watch and deeper occupants. | The area in front of the cave was used by the horde as a headquarters, war-wagon yard, and main camp.

| Later records extend Hearthforge beyond the entrance fight. The horde remnants ringed the mountain saddle with signal watchtowers and used the deeper dwarven halls for rituals intended to wake [[campaigns:latitude_history:lore:thullgrim|Thullgrim]], the troll mountain. | Later records extend Hearthforge beyond the entrance fight.
