“Outside Frostmaw's Burrows, a Norn storyteller once regaled listeners with tales of a great wurm named Frostmaw that burrowed through the mountains. According to the tale, the wurm could not be killed. Many great warriors had fallen while attempting to slay the beast. Frostmaw and its brood, it seems, were distant cousins to the sane, chaos, and desert wurms. Ice wurms have a thick blubber layer beneath their tough skin, which insulates them from the frigid temperatures of the Shiverpeaks. It also makes them all but impervious to harm, whether it's from phyical or magical means. Unfazed by the warnings, we ventured into the wurm's lair to test our steel and skills against these formidable opponents.

[edit] Trivia
- This dungeon does not use any Boss Locks or Dungeon Locks.
- In the fourth level, there is a large area to the east which is separated from the rest of the level by a chasm. The method of accessing this section is currently unknown, however it is suspected that it might be accessed by somehow knocking down one of the nearby pillars.
- Also in the fourth level, the map is the same as the map in the snowman dungeon that can be accessed from Umbral Grotto.
