	The PCs come to Longbridge looking for Nigel's whereabouts - Cordell recommends he be a party-member's father. Or maybe they're just curious. The Outer Complex is the duergar region, with hooks to the wider Underdark. Wellfast now controls the duergar here. His brain has been invaded by "gibberslugs": think the worms of [[Kyuss]], but Lovecraftian. Madreus, by arresting the gibberslugs' progress, controls Wellfast.

	The Twisted Caverns, from there, are full of mutated trolls and alien horrors, as well as enslaved duergar. (This would be more interesting as trope-subversion if [[WGR3: Rary the Traitor]] hadn't already done that.) There's also a Living Wall, easily the most horrific monster in baseline 2e: Cordell does not disappoint, sticking Quaren into this.

	The Inner Sanctum contains the Support Complexus. Here the Vast Gate awaits, along with Madreus - and Nigel, whom Madreus now dominates. The party, when done, can further retrieve their ''Book of the Gate''. Always nice to see a Necronomicon in its manuscript edition.		The Inner Sanctum contains the Support Complexus.

	Firestorm Peak, a headwater for the completely nondescript "Quickstep River" in "the Shirelands", is one of those magic mountains that crop up in D&D. Here, with the eponymous firestorms every 27 years, when the Dragon's Tear comet comes nigh; all very Clark Ashton Smith. The town Longbridge has grown up near it, mainly as a tourist-trap. But now the town is plagued by Colour Out Of Space: mutation, madness, you know - the usual.
