Capital City: Ironhold
Epithet: The City Beneath the Anvil-Sky
Description: A tiered fortress-city hewn into the mountainside, guarded by cyclopean gates and watchful ancestor statues. Vaulted streets ring with hammer-song as the Great Forge burns day and night—part manufactory, part temple.
Institutions:
- The Stonebinders' Guild — Artificers, runesmiths, and engineers who blend metal, magic, and geology.
- The Deep Flame Collegium — Clerics and lore-wrights who interpret omens in fluxing metal and living stone.
