Jörðgarð Map No. 483 is from the recently released "Jörðgarð Trails" adventure "A Tale of 2 Books." The PCs have reached one of their two goals ... capture of the ice key to the polar ice castle of the fallen high draug (undead) Martröð. They now have learned that two red draugs (undead) who are bound to no masters - Aldinborg and Jóninna - know where their final goal, the evil Black Book of Martröð, can be found. The two draugs fear the power of fallen Martröð and -like the PCs - want the Black Book destroyed. However, they believe that the PCs will have only a single chance to capture the book. Before revealing its location, the red draugs will test the PCs' intelligence and mettle by insisting that they pass the red dragon Sigurgrímur and their two dark rider draugs without harming them.
