Wesrin Cross is a dungeon in the Ehb campaign, the singleplayer world in Dungeon Siege.
Description[]
Farmgirl and her party were forced to fight their way through Wesrin Cross after leaving Stonebridge and following the path towards Glitterdelve. A rock slide blocked the gate through Glitterdelve Pass and left them to try their luck with the underground passageway.
Wesrin Cross presents itself overground in the form of two modest towers: a ruined, circular one on the Stonebridge side and a standard 10th Legion barrack tower in Glitterdelve. Centuries of ruthless owners and whimsical expansions have turned the realm beneath these structures into a formidable dungeon. The journey through culminates in a cavernous great hall that might be the largest "room" in Dungeon Siege and a battle with a Giant Spider boss monster. The Wesrin Cross zones are sd_r1 and sd_r2, standing for spider dungeon, in reference to its current owners.
History[]
The story behind this dungeon is detailed in one of Ehb's lorebooks, The Ruins of Wesrin Cross.
Wesrin Cross was originally an inn built by Fiola Wesrin in the 7th century, which is some five hundred years prior to Farmgirl's quest. The 10th Legion later fortified and expanded the structure to connect underground with the Glitterdelve Mine. During the War of Legions, the Seck took control of it, using its underground chambers to breed their Arakun Spiders; it is said that they laid a powerful curse over the place that continues to attract the descendants of these monsters.
The Seck's depredations caused Wesrin Cross to be abandoned in favor of newer fortifications until the Affair of the Goblin Pretender. Mad Prince Edvard moved in with Goblin engineers under his thumb; his efforts to keep the place serviceable made Wesrin Cross into Aranna's version of a white elephant. He was the last non-arachnid to rule the fortress.
