Sorrow's Embrace (abbreviated SE) is a large dredge underground city within the Shiverpeak Mountains. It was first a dwarven foundry and mine until the Stone Summit took it over to use as their main base of operations, naming it Sorrow's Furnace, where they enslaved various races including the dredge. In 1072 AE, the Stone Summit were defeated in the dwarven civil war and the dredge began revolting, forming the moletariate and claiming the mines, renaming it Sorrow's Embrace. Recently, however, the moletariat have become corrupted and influenced by the Inquest, turning to enslave their own kind in continuous mining.

Completing this dungeon's explorable mode or its reward track awards Tales of Dungeon Delving, which can be used to purchase the dungeon's armor and weapons from any Dungeon Merchant.
