Trollhiem

Trollhiem is the proud city of the dwarven race. Years after the war of the Nine Dragons, the dwarves built their home into the mountain side hallowing out their own city.

Trollhiem
Thee first rocks of Trollhiem were mined several centuries after the creation of Talakar, by the dwarves of the Kornagi clan. Infatuated by the greatness of the Xx Mountains, their leader Thoraun believed that only such a mountian range, could house their great city, and so their work began.

As the years passed, the city grew, first inwards, and then out of the mountain as some races feared living underground though the majority of the city exists in the hill side. Ceturies passed and the dwarves completed the first part of their glorious city. Part mine, part stronghold, Trollhiem was born from the mountains.

However, the dwarves questioned where they would put their unused minerals they mined from the hillside, for they trusted no vault created by non-dwarf hands. Therefore they began construction of the Vault of Thoraun. At first, they were content, but years passed and it became apparent that the vault was not enough, it had to go deeper. So they began construction on the lower levels of the vault.

Deeper and deeper they dug, so deep that they feared at any moment they would simply fall into the void. It was at this point they stopped, and the Golden Vault was created. Created to house their greatest treasures, this vault has never been seen by non-dwarven eyes, nor is there any whispers of what lies in this vault. All that is known is that any whom attempt to access into the first level of vault vanish without a trace.

The city that lies outside of the moutian plays host to a vast array of races and lifestyles. For it was founded on the principle that Trollhiem is a city for everyone. However this changes in time of war, or great threat. When the need arises, the Gates of Trollhiem close, effectively sealing off the city in the moutians from out the outside world. While the city outside is well defended, the inner part of the city is fortified with every measure imaginable. From spells, to traps, to metal that cannot be melted, the gates of Trollhiem are meant to absorb whatever is thrown at them.
