Vaults of the Empire of the Dragon

"To the east lie mountains, where the treasure vaults of the ancients may be found. I've heard tell that men still plunder them and draw forth treasures, though I hold to no foolish talk myself."

The Vaults of the Empire of the Dragon lie in the mountains east of the Forestmen's hideout and west of the Great Southern Wastes. They were once filled with the treasures of the ancient Empire of the Dragon, but 800 years of thieves have emptied most of the treasure and sprung most of the traps.

The Apprentice and her companions journey to the vaults in search of treasure, but find the explorer Calus and the black longsword instead, as well as a pack of orcs which the Apprentice raises as zombies after they are beaten.
