A separate cave system from the Hesh caves, also located in the Twisted Crown Peaks. Home territory of the Darakhul — an intelligent undead community. The approach involves swampy areas where beasts lurk. The Darakhul can see far in the dark, making stealth approaches difficult.

Notable FeaturesSwampy approach with lurking beastsDoomguard lurking in the swamp (half stone, half in the planes)Prisoner holding area (where Fren's group was kept)Elf Darakhul leader's quarters (Onyx symbol displayed)
Hidden DescriptionThe Darakhul are not uniformly evil — they surrendered Fren's remaining group rather than killing them all, and allowed the prisoners to live (uninfected). Their Elf leader bearing an Onyx religious symbol has a relationship with Nyx worship. The best raid window is at night when only 3-5 Darakhul remain in the caves. The Doomguard (half-stone, half-planar) waiting in the swamp may be related to Prison Plane instability from the Gate War.
