Does anyone know of any maps or resources that adress Tethyamar, the lost Dwarven mines? Our ~15th level party will likely help to reclain them as part of a larger plot arc. Aside from the old Dwarven kings remnant in Suzail what expatriot Dwarven forces might aid in this mighty under taking? I'm certain that there is still a dwarven remnant in Dagger Dale as well, but are there any canon forces or NPCs of substance that might want to get involved or even usurp the quest?

Hopefully I've posted this in the correct forum.

Thanks in advance, Steve

Sage, sometimes you really scare me.

Of these Dwarves Deep and Lost Empires would be my starting point if using Tethyamar. In fact, get Dwarves Deep as quickly as you can, its one of the greatest treasures in the publishing history of the Realms (subjectivity of course)

Agreed, especially with regard to Dwarves Deep... 'tis one of my favorite Ed works.

bitter thorn, you'll likely find a PDF copy at paizo.com or printed copies through nobleknight.com.

Dwarves Deep I've had for a while, but much to my irritation I can't seem to find it.

Thanks for the leads!

I was curious about Tethyamar myself until I saw all of this. Thanks, Sage.

Not a problem Ardashir.

I'll note that, as I recall, Underdark also contains a reference or two for Tethyamar.

Are you asking how to build it now(ish) or how to recreate it in historical terms?
