Summary

An unnamed concealed dwarven settlement in the snowy mountains near Hammerguard shelters resistance families who escaped Envy’s charm. Hidden behind a reinforced, snow-covered mine entrance, it contains heated underground residential and communal spaces, guarded firing positions, and a concealed wagon route. The settlement is connected to the Hammerguard resistance, but its precise relationship to Hammerguard and Envy’s occupied city remains uncertain.

Known Details

  • A reinforced, snow-covered opening resembling an old dwarven mine entrance radiates warmth and leads to a heated chamber large enough for dozens of carts.
  • Fine dwarven pillars, signs to residential, mines, recreation, and eating areas, metal-masked guards with heavy crossbow-like weapons, and hidden firing positions defend the entrance.
  • The settlement has carved dwellings, families, secure guest rooms, and doors controlled by a stone key and speakers’ communion with local earth elementals.
  • It is linked to a hidden single-wagon route screened by movable pallets dressed as brush and rocks.
