Fell Pass was a large rocky east-to-west[1] vale in the Spine of the World[2] where ghosts from an old battle roamed.[3]
Description[]
The Dreadmont and Skyfire mountains lay to the north and south.[4] The east of the pass was within sight of the River Surbrin.[5] It was shrouded in fog in parts, and there was little grass.[1] It was littered with the bones of the orcs and dwarves from what was thought to be a battle.[6] There were tunnels and caverns at various places in the pass, some of which were natural and others that were carved out by the dwarves.[7]
History[]
The gnome illusionist Fitzmilliyun Sparkledrim built his Castle of Illusion in the Pass during the height of Ascalhorn's power. A century after his death, orcs overran its defenders.[8]
It was thought that the ghosts were those of the orcs and Delzoun dwarves slain in the Battle of Fell Pass.[9] However, it was discovered by a scouting party led by Bruenor Battlehammer (much to his displeasure) that what actually lay beneath the pass was the ruins of Baffenburg.[10]
