Dungeon of the Shield is the old tomb chambers of the late Harpshield Castle. The dungeon has been reinhabitted by the Cult of the Dragon. They have repurposed and renovated sections to accommodate their new guests. It is a 3 layer dungeon which holds a gathering hall, armory and members' quarters on the first floor, a treasure room, library and prison with fighting ring on the second floor and a secret Archmage lair on the third floor equipped with a second, personal collection, treasury room, living quarters and a communication chamber. The dungeon holds a trap floor on the first floor that drops evaders into a sealed room(prison) and a triggered attack trap on the second floor at the entrance to the Treasure Room. The library holds a riddle triggered secret passage to the Archmage's lair. The communication chamber requires a puzzle solved to activate it. The Dungeon is home to members of the cult of many races and classes passing through, but a servant crew of kobolds work the dungeon and a pair of troglodytes for protection. At the head of the Great Gathering Hall stands a life-size statue of a young black dragon with a golden amulet around its neck. Upon inspection, the statue is imbued with conjuration magic. The amulet is actually a button that if pressed turns the statue into a real black dragon.
