Their most secretive and bountiful cavern, harboring the legendary Forge of Spells, was a beacon of shared wealth and magical might. But this golden age was not to last. Marauding bandits and mercenaries unleashed a tempest of greed and destruction, decimating the secret cave and its wonders. In their wake, the bustling town of Phandalin fell into desolation.
