Orogoth
Ruin in The Western Heartlands
Orogoth is the ruin of a Netherese villa on the moors, one of the most dangerous places in the region, ruled by black dragons and linked by tunnels to the old serpent kingdom of Najara.
Toppled towers lie among the moorland heather, and tunnels breathe the smell of swamp and dragon from beneath the broken villa.

Overview
Orogoth was built by the Orogoth family of ancient Netheril as a base for dark experiments: they sought to master dragons and to take dragon form themselves, and created the serpent-like ophidians. The family destroyed itself in a civil war.
Long after, yuan-ti raiders woke a powerful black dragon in the ruins. It made Orogoth its lair, and its descendants claim to be the last heirs of the Orogoth family. Tunnels beneath the ruin lead to the Serpent Tunnels of Najara. On our map Orogoth stands by the Serpent Hills.
