The Howling Caverns were a network of tunnels beneath the Orsraun Mountains; by the late 10th century DR, they were mostly large enough even for the largest dragons to move in. By the late 14th century DR, they had collapsed.[1]
Description[]
The labyrinth joined various meltwater caverns; wind constantly moaned through them, giving them their name.[1]
History[]
In the late 10th century DR, Meldryn Jalensifer lured the Magister, a black dragon named Constulgrael, to the location with a rumor and ambushed him, slaying him and claiming the mantle of the Magister for himself.[1]
By the late 14th century DR, the caverns had collapsed.[1]
Rumors & Legends[]
To lure Constulgrael, Meldryn had spread the rumor of an ancient draconic crypt, belonging to a sorcerous dragon and full of spells unique to dragons. Some sources implied that the caverns may have in fact been dug by dragons.[1]
