Yet another name to include in Knightmare's gazetteer. Grimdale occupied part of Level 1 in at least one Series 7 quest, that of Team 6 of Series 7. Brother Strange described it in somewhat uninsightful terms: "fair country, but it lies within Dungeon dimensions." A town named Warlock was located in Grimdale - might it be more than coincidence that 'in Grimdale' is an anagram of Grimaldine? - and Team 6 were told to seek out Rothberry there.

Grimdale is also mentioned in The Quest. According Issue 2 of Volume 3, Ah Wok maintained a stall there, from which Sylvester Hands' cookbook could be acquired for 'three Dungeon dollars'. In Issue 1 of Volume 4, Cadrighan the Chronicler states (in his editorial) that Lord Fear has invested in Miremen from Atlantis, but has had no luck trying to feed them artificial tuna; and as a result, business has boomed for Grimdale's fishmonger. The place is also referred to in the Knightmare Top Trumps cards published in The Quest: it is restated that Ah Wok and Rothberry have stalls there, and the tavern where Marta works is said to be in 'the town of Grimdale'.
