Forgotten River has three dungeons named: "The Hub", "The Cache" and the "Shrine of Balance". The first one is a place in which you will be able to unlock four teleports, each to four locations of the island. If you went there just after you've exit the forest, a portal to the beach should be already unlocked. Others you may open while journeying, and to some you will need the keys.
Second one, The Cache, is a storage room filled with ratlings equipped with firearms. After passing these dungeons you should find a golden key lying on the ground, which will open one of the four smaller storage rooms (unless you have more golden keys). Items you will find inside are put there in a special manner. In each of these four rooms you will be able to find equipment that either fits only to one class or it is universal. There are items for the: mage (6), rogue (5), warrior (7) and universal items (a rope and a bracelet) (8), so think it through which door do you want to open.
The last interesting location in the Forgotten River area is the Shrine of Balance. Its function is the same as the function of every other temple. Place there four Power Gems to create an essence. In order to enter inside, stand between the pedestals in front of the Nex Castle and use the center rune from you spell to teleport. This will work only if there is an essence on each of the pedestals.
