Great Worm Cavern
Dungeon in The Lurkwood, The Savage Frontier
Great Worm Cavern is the ancestral mound and home of the Great Worm tribe of the Uthgardt barbarians, in the foothills of the Spine of the World.
Cold air breathes from a cave mouth in the forested foothills, and the tunnels beyond are carved with images of a vast, coiling worm.

Overview
The Uthgardt are the barbarian tribes of the North, each named after its totem animal and each keeping an ancestral mound: a sacred site where its dead are honoured and its rites are held.
Great Worm Cavern lies at the foot of a mountain of the Spine of the World, in the Valley of Khedrun (our map places it in the Lurkwood). Its central cavern holds an altar mound shaped like a great coiling winged serpent, the Great Worm, and its tunnels reach deep into the Underdark. Unlike most mounds, it is a cave system where the Great Worm tribe lives as well as honours its dead.
