Chamber of Dolambar

Dol Amabar in the Old Tongue means 'head of the earth'. It is in this chamber that the heroes encounter Kornari, the alleged dragon spawn of Smaug. As it turns out, he is a captive of the Dark Heart of the Earth, Dúath'gûr, the Dischord of Earth.

The chamber is filled with a lake of magma and only a single, wide path across. In the center of the path is a large column of rock with all manner of holes and ledges for things like Kornari to climb or perch. The column is made of some kind of dark rock unlike obsidian. Later, it will be realized that this dark stone is actually the corruption of Dúath'gûr manifested.
