Dead Trenches

The Dead Trenches is a location in the Deep Roads, accessible only once Ortan Thaig has been traversed.

Background
The Fortress of Bownammar in the Deep Roads was once home to the majority of the Legion of the Dead and abandoned to the darkspawn only with great regret. It is now called the Dead Trenches. Caridin, the dwarven Paragon, created it long ago.

Areas of Note

 * The first bridge contains a wave of Darkspawn being fought by the Legion of the Dead.
 * Some of the smaller rooms contain traps.
 * Halfway through the second bridge, you will be ambushed by Darkspawn.
 * Hespith is in the small room just before the final large open area.
 * The Key to enter the Broodmother's Lair can be found in the southernmost room of the final large area.
 * Final area contains the boss battle against the Broodmother.

Access
You must have received the quest to find Branka in order to get to the Dead Trenches. This area is only accessible once you have found Branka's Journal in Ortan Thaig. Getting through the Dead Trenches leads to Anvil of the Void.
