Located on the far side of the River Ashaba across the farms north of Shadowdale, Shadow Ridge is covered in dense brambles and overgrown with yew, grape, and raspberry bushes. Save for children who sometimes swim or punt across the river to pick berries, it is little visited by the people of the Dale.
Should the DM wish to position a dungeon or underground area of his or her own devising, the Shadow Ridge area is perfect for this task. The underground area could potentially connect with the drow warrens beneath the community or tie in via teleportation devices or gates with destinations far-removed from the quiet nature of Shadowdale.
