Osnabrölt is a small gnomish community in the Kron Hills. It largely consists of warrens, a group of underground tunnels and homes.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]In the late fifth century CY, a "special tomb" was built here, commissioned by a group of humans, to house an unknown "special treasure". The tale of this construction is detailed in Gnomicshperis.[2]
In 581 CY, the community is utterly decimated, and inhabitants live in an encampment above ground. The Sword of Kas is discovered stored in the ground here, though the residents here are sworn to not reveal the sword or its location.[1]
