History
More than five hundred years ago, clans of dwarves and gnomes made an agreement known as Phandelver's Pact, by which they would share a rich mine in a wondrous cavern known as Wave Echo Cave. In addition to its vast mineral wealth it was quickly learned that the cave had immense magical power contained within its walls. Soon wizards from the surrounding areas arrived to the cave and worked with the gnomes to channel that energy creating what was known as the Forge of Spells. The nearby human town of Phandalin bustled as a market place for the sale of the rich minerals, crafts, and magical items that flowed out of the cave. But then darkness swept the region. A massive tribe of orc swept through the North and laid waste to all in their path.
Quickly the orc learned of the Forge of Spells and along with a number of evilmercenary wizards assaulted the cave. The human wizards fought along with their dwarf and gnome allies to defend the Forge of Spells. Over the course of a ten-day a mighty battle ensued taking the lives of almost all involved. The spell battle raged between the opposing wizards eventually lead to the destruction of the cave and its entrance. The location of Wave Echo Cave was lost.
Two hundred years ago the first tomes mentioning Wave Echo Cave surfaced in the Mage University's library in Neverwinter. Soon, the rumors spread and opportunists, lured by the promise of wealth and riches (magical and not) searched the hills around Phandalin for the entrance to the cave. The search continued for a century with no progress.
