Cavern of Cloven Heads

The Cavern of Cloven Heads was an ancient mine made by Clan Black Axe, which was close to Ched Nasad.

History
The cavern was inhabited by the dwarves of Clan Black Axe, where they mined iron and worshipped Dumathoin. In the early -3900s DR, the clan battled against the high priestess, Menzoberranza, and her drow group. Despite the drow winning the battle, the dwarves managed to kill half of the entire drow forced. Due to the amount of drow heads the fell to ground, the cavern site became known as "the Cavern of the Cloven Heads".

The dwarves later returned, and inscribed glyphs onto the rocks, detailing the battle of the "Brave Beards" of their clan, and the drow. They erected a cairn to the dwarven warriors who fell during the battle. The clan were forced to leave again, as Ammarindar collapsed overhead.

The dwarves settled again, and constructed the Temple of Dumathoin. For the final time, they were cast out of their homes by a drow house which wished to ally with the derro. The derro occupied the area in the early-mid 14th century.

Around 1370 DR, the cavern was occupied by Uthgardt grimlocks of the Golden Eagle and the Red Pony tribes.
