These crypts hold the vast treasures of the Blackdagger house, which are well guarded by their original owners.

Description

Cragmire Crypts

After Cragmire Keep was destroyed by Neverwinter and the necromantic cult shattered, the commanders turned their attention to the extensive crypts beneath the ruins where the cult had conducted most of their dark rituals. Soldiers and priests entered the crypts to purify or destroy the horrors that awaited, but few returned, and those that did spoke of an entire army of undead.

Rather than risk further loss of life, the Neverwinter forces decided to seal the Cragmire Crypts with a powerful enchantment that would ensure that no trace of the cult's work would escape. While the enchantment somehow survived the Spellplague, it was weakened substantially. A wizard named Kallos Tam, working with Traven and Malus Blackdagger, was able to break it and gain entry.

A Dungeon Delve located in the Blackdagger Ruins.

Shadow Gate

The Shadow Gate is a passage found near the end of the dungeon Cragmire Crypts, in the Blackdagger Ruins. As you approach the Shadow Gate you will pass a hidden hallway (A) and blocked by a pink barrier. The Shadow Gate teleports those who enter to the hidden hallway to lower the barrier. Advanced trickster rouges with teleport ability can pass beyond the barrier. However their party cannot join them until the barrier is lowered.
The obstruction before returning to the pink barrier (B) is a tiny bridge over a spike pit with enemies on the far side. A high level trickster rouge can teleport across, wizards and rangers can attack the enemy on the far side before extending the bridge (C). If any members wait by the barrier, it will fall as soon as the bridge is extended and then they may proceed down the stairs that were previously blocked by the barrier.The enemies in the hidden hallway is simple to overcome and only one team member needs to extend the bridge.
This last image shows the hidden hall exit revealed as you return to the landing with the single spike trap.
