Overview

Drawn from The Maps of Myrist — Nurga, Mines of zone description.EQ1Primary · official

Nurga is the lower mining system in the Frontier Mountains and, along with the upper complex of Droga, is controlled by the Mountain Death goblins. The two mining systems are connected by long, narrow tunnels, and each has separate exits to the above world. However, one can enter Nurga's lower passages only through the upper levels of Droga, making it quite difficult to reach.

Outside of goblin-made tunnels and natural caverns, Nurga consists of an outpost and mining camp called Outpost Nurga and Nurga Mining Camp respectively.

The outpost amounts to not much more than a small, rotting wooden watchtower and fort. In addition, there is a large wooden gate that bars access to Nurga's main tunnel to the surface. The gate was erected during Rogkus' campaign to fortify the defenses of the Mountain Death Clan stronghold.

The Nurga Mining Camp is but a couple of decrepit wooden buildings, surrounded by dirty hide tents. It can be found in the caverns behind the outpost.

It is rumored that Rogkus' influence, being centered in Droga, is quite weak in Nurga. Many goblins in the lower levels feel themselves to be quasi-independent from the rest of the Mountain Death Clan, and do not uphold the ritualistic ceremonies and fealty to the clan chief that the goblins of Droga strive to maintain.
