Dungeon of the Hark

The Dungeon of the Hark was the name given to an underground bandit stronghold and associated ruins in the Delimbiyr Vale.

Location
It lay amidst rocky ridges on the northern edge of the High Moor, within a bend in the Hark River east of Highstar Lake.

It was located beneath the ruined village of Moorsedge. Moorsedge was a village founded in the waning years of the Fallen Kingdom. By the mid–14 century DR, very little was left of the village save a few stones, bits of masonry and the remains of an iron statue of some grand king or lord that had, over time, lost its head and arms.

Interior
Several holes and pits led into various warrens and a vast network of interconnecting tunnels that housed most of the Hark's lycanthropic brood and his bandit subordinates. The tunnels went deep enough to reach the Underdark where they connected with the Flayer's Corridor, a region of the Underdark inhabited by illithids.

Inhabitants
In the mid–14 century, this was the lair of a band of wererat brigands led by the Hark.

History
In 1372 DR, the Red Fellowship attacked the Dungeon of the Hark in response to increased raids from the Hark's followers. The Fellowship killed most of its inhabitants and looted anything of value. The Hark at the time escaped into an adjoining underground outpost where he met his end at the hands of adventurers who were acting as the Fellowship's rearguard.
