Uldane

Northern most region of Grinn made toxic and unlivable because of the concentration of long-buried dragon carcasses ("grin" or mass grave)

The Üldane dwarves used to inhabit the area and may still. They turn to stone as they age and turn into a statue when they die.

In Üldane an ancient repository for dangerous magical items became animated. It is discovered that this is a result of the magic items within gaining sentience, forming the dangerous construct being known as Amalgam. Collecting myriad enchanted items and magic-laced metals, Amalgam gradually grew to resemble a hulking construct behemoth, his already cunning mind bolstered again and again with each rare and powerful addition to his being.
