Swindlegrin's Dig is a strip mine situated on the northwest side of the Suntouched Pillar in Sholazar Basin. Built by the Venture Company, at the time of the War against the Lich King, Foreman Swindlegrin oversaw the operation to strip the yellow gems from the pillar. When an expedition led by Hemet Nesingwary arrived nearby, the Venture Company started hampering their efforts to secure their campsite and survey the area. They also started antagonizing their scouts and shooting down supply flights. Furthermore, they captured Engineer Helice when she came there to explore the crystals and take samples. Thus, Debaar, a member of Nesingwary's expedition, asked adventurers to go to the dig and slay and any Venture Company employee they saw as retaliation.[1] She also asked they take out Swindlegrin and his bodyguard, Meatpie.[2] While in the dig, the adventurers rescued Helice, who before leaving set off a big cache of explosives close to where she had been imprisoned.[3]
Following the war against the Jailer, the brothers Bronzebeard reported that the Venture Company still continued their operations at the Suntouched Pillar. Magni feared that eventually they'd do as much harm as the Cult of the Damned to the region, however unintentionally.[4]
