Salt Coast: Clanclave
Once solely the name of the great central mountain range, Clanclave has become synonymous with the dwarven empire and covers most of the coast, plains, and mountains north of the Southern peninsula.
Mountain Strongholds[edit]
The surface of the empire is vast, but beneath the Clanclave range is another realm populated almost entirellly by dwarves and their gnomish kin - the Hall of the Mountain king.
Iron Deep[edit]
Iron Deep is a massive dwarven fortress and the main access to the Hall of the King under the mountains.
The Hollow[edit]
Once a fortified city built as a bulwark between the empire and the protectorate, the Hollows is now an abandoned and haunted place.
Coastal Cities[edit]
Dwarven cities are bustling centers of industry and trade filled with folk of every race and profession.
Northreach[edit]
The most dwarf-populated of the major dwarven cities is Northreach, whose primary industry is salt farming. Everything is covered with the grey patina of salt. Walls and streets and people alike wear a rime of the valuable mineral at all times. Dwarves and Gnomes make up the largest people groups of Northreach.
Seawatch[edit]
Seawatch is the hub of distribution of food stuffs for the empire. Situated on the coast between the richest farm and herding lands and the most bountiful fishing waters, 90% of food produced within the empire moves through Seawatch to be distributed elsewhere. Humans and dwarves make up the largest people groups of the city.
Trader Down[edit]
Also known as the Twins, Trader Down is a colorful menagerie of goods and folk of every different description imaginable. Situated on either side of the Salt river where it empties into the protected waters of Salt bay the trade city is bristling with docks and wharves set to accept goods from the protectorate and the isles alike and to ship those goods upriver into the heart of the empire.
