Frostpeak Forge Maps:

Frostpeak Forge: Frostpeak Forge is an ancient dwarven stronghold located deep within the icy mountains. It serves as a bastion of dwarven craftsmanship and houses a legendary forge that harnesses the power of ice. The interior is decorated with intricate frost motifs and ice laden walls. The rooms are carved into the frozen rock.

The Icebound Forge: At the heart of Frostpeak Forge lies the Icebound Forge, a magnificent chamber where the dwarven artisans once crafted legendary weapons and armors. The forge itself is a massive icy structure, perpetually radiating a frigid aura. Crystals of pure ice line the walls, providing an otherworldly glow.

• Puzzle: The players must find a way to reignite the dormant forge. They discover that the forge's fire has been extinguished, and traditional means of relighting it won't work. They must explore the room and nearby areas to find a hidden elemental gem capable of generating intense cold. By placing the gem in a specific receptacle within the forge and activating it with a burst of magic, the forge reignites with a brilliant blue flame.

Icy Workstations: Adjacent to the Icebound Forge are individual workstations where the dwarves once honed their skills. These workstations, now abandoned, still hold remnants of unfinished projects and tools. The players may discover blueprints, partially completed weapons, or hidden compartments containing valuable materials.

• Puzzle: The players find a partially completed masterpiece at one of the workstations. The challenge is to decipher the runes and symbols left by the original dwarven smith and complete the crafting process. This puzzle requires a combination of logic, knowledge of dwarven craftsmanship, and perhaps even interacting with specific tools or materials in the correct order. Once the puzzle is solved, the players uncover a powerful magical weapon or a blueprint for crafting unique items.

Frozen Anvil Room: Connected to the Icebound Forge is a massive frozen anvil at its center. This area showcases the masterpieces created by the dwarven smiths. Armor stands display intricate sets of frost-enchanted armor, while weapon racks exhibit various icy weapons, each possessing unique properties. The players may find clues or hints hidden among the displays, guiding them in their quest.

• Puzzle: The players notice an elaborate mechanism near the frozen anvil. It appears to be a lock that requires a particular sequence of elemental symbols to unlock. The symbols are hidden throughout the room, and players must observe their surroundings carefully to identify and interpret them correctly. Solving the puzzle reveals a compartment beneath the anvil containing a rare gemstone needed for accessing the Chamber of Elemental Mastery.

The Chamber of Elemental Mastery: In a hidden section of the forge lies the Chamber of Elemental Mastery. This room holds the key to unlocking the forge's true potential. The players must navigate a series of puzzles representing the elements—earth, fire, air, and water—to unlock the secrets of the forge. Each puzzle requires the players to harness the powers of the elements through creative problem-solving.

• Puzzle: This chamber presents a series of elemental puzzles, each representing one of the four elements: earth, fire, air, and water. Each pedestal extinguishing the flames atop the block.
• Earth Pedestal: The torch on the earth pedestal burns with a warm, flickering flame. To complete this puzzle, the players simply need to smother the flame with a handful of dirt or earth. They can find a container of loose soil nearby or scrape dirt off the walls of the chamber to extinguish the flame.
• Fire Pedestal: The torch on the fire pedestal burns with a steady, golden flame. The players need to introduce additional fire to the torch to make it burn brighter or hotter. They can use a lit torch from their inventory or find a nearby brazier with burning coals to transfer fire to the pedestal's torch. As the flames intensify, the puzzle is solved.
• Air Pedestal: The torch on the air pedestal flickers with a cool, tranquil blue flame. To complete this puzzle, the players must create a gust of wind to extinguish the flame. They can use a fan, wave a piece of cloth vigorously, or cast a spell that manipulates air currents. Once the flame is blown out, the puzzle is solved.
• Water Pedestal: The torch on the water pedestal emits a shimmering, watery glow. To extinguish this flame, the players need to introduce water or a liquid to douse it. They can use a waterskin, a vial of water, or any other liquid they have available. By carefully pouring the liquid over the torch, the flame is quenched, completing the puzzle.
