The gates of the Black Forge

event Black Forge · Events (all zones)

In front of you are the gates of the Black Forge, an ancient forge-city created in the heart of the volcano. The Black Forge was shut down and has been uninhabited since the Obsidan Uprising, the dwarven rebellion to conquer Velkerath by creating war machines from within the volcano. The gates don't seem to be magically locked, but they are really heavy and, because of the volcano, they are very hot. Touching them for too long could cause severe burns. You will need strength and endurance to open them.
