Here's an idea for a dungeon:
A tribe of kobolds or another digging race have decided to construct a wide-reaching network of tunnels that spread all across the land (and possibly the world if they can get enough diggers involved). They reason that the surface world is full of all sorts of dangers like monster tribes and giant flying things while in underground tunnels big things are at a disadvantage.
Their basic goal is to create a network of tunnels which they could use to make money (to buy supplies and good food and stuff) and provide them with an advantage over other surface kingdoms. Of course, they would need plenty of diggers and workers to excavate and build the tunnels, along with someone to design it, and guards and various traps to ensure threats don't get in and paying customers can move around (at least in the areas they are allowed in).
They would allow others to use their tunnels (provided they pay for it), and would be interested in having guards and occasionally build tunnels underneath cities and towns to bypass fortifications (even if they don't plan on attacking right away, its always a good idea to have something on hand in case they do want to start an invasion... or alternately complete the tunnel to help out an ally under siege).
Assume its in the heroic tier of 4th edition or at least they can't pull off much in the way of magic cheese. They would still need contact with the surface to get food.
