Every once in a while in the debilitatingly hot locale that is Varnurud, the ground rumbles. Indeed, earthquakes are frequent to the point of becoming one of the most common sources of peril. But when the ground opens up, revealing an ancient Dwarven town, it’s really something special.

Gorge Town, the “creative” name the local scavengers have come to call it, represents one such special occasion, and today we’re eager to show it to you. It’s just one more place that you might find yourself delving into in our At the Heart of Ruin expansion via the new Exploration Encounters, and if you’re lucky, you can perhaps recover veritable treasures.

Of course, getting down into the town can often be the hard part.

Naturally, that doesn’t stop the scavengers. Many of the more insane gangs are all but too willing to use whatever makeshift implements they have on hand to descend, whether those are grappling hooks, an old piece of rope, or, where the Raptors are concerned, some shoddy wings off the corpses of dead beasts.

The gangs make a habit out of waging war against each other down there. Looting is constant, fighting is incessant, and by and large, it’s not the safest of places to be. The fact that the abandoned Dwarven town has opened up recently, however, presents an interesting opportunity. Most of what can be found in Gorge Town is previously untapped, which is to say that the Dwarven settlement hasn’t been seen since Xeryn’s Third Age before the Calamity. No wonder the gangs are crazy about it – securing whatever treasure dwells within could be the key to their survival.

And yet, it is hard to imagine venturing below, is it not? Perhaps you will have a reason of your own? Find out what awaits you there when our expansion drops on the 22nd of October.

Until then, as always, stay wary, stay vigilant, and conquer the wasteland!
