Cragmaw Hideout

Cragmaw Hideout was the name given to a cave from which goblins of the Cragmaw Tribe staged raids on passing caravans for a time before the events of the Phandelver Adventure.

The mine was cleared of goblins by the Heroes of Phandalin. In the course of clearing the mine, the heroes rescued the knight, Sildar Hallwinter, from whom they learned of the Black Spider and his sinister plot.

As such, many bards and scholars who are called upon to relate the tale of the Phandelver Adventure often begin with the Clearing of Cragmaw Hideout.
