Knur Slagming

Purple Dragon

Knur Slagming, is Giant for Hollow Predator. It is a grassy plain of the Inirthak sector of Grashakh. The most notable feature of the plain are hundreds of holes scattered across the landscape. In the Third Dragon Wake, some of the larger holes that pierce deep beneath Knur Slagming served as the egress point for purple dragons. These dragons of the Underdark, driven by the Dragon Wake frenzy, flew up from the dark reaches of Imgangreth and raided the surface. For a time, they were a threat to Inirthak's denizens.

In the Second Epoch, the Githirmil began claiming this open plain under the flag of the Orchish Empire. To them, it looked like a virgin area that had never seen settlement by axe and spade. They were soon to learn that the area was untamed and unoccupied by peoples because it was the plate for things below. The holes in Knur Slagming dive deep into the Underdark with most opening up over the Cthorgo sea. At night, creatures of the Underdark like giant bats, vampires, stirges, sometimes a purple dragon, and all manner of other flying creatures come up through these shafts seeking out the night's meal.

The holes dotting Knur Slagming vary in size, with the smallest 10' across and largest up to a half a mile in rough diameter. Geologists say that these holes are not natural and look to have been the product of tunneling by purple worms or other Underdark burrower. They are puzzled as why something would dig holes from the surface, and end over an Underdark sea. These holes go by a number of names, with Pelor's Eyelids being the most used. The Githirmil have their own word for them - Gruumsh's Spittoons.
