A fallen Dwarven city, South of Lurkwood, East of :ref:`mothers-bastion`, North West of the Evermores.

Before the fall it was a bustling traders city with 5-6K people, but doubled in size during high trade times.

The Fall
^^^^^^^^
During the Darkening it fell to a group of Orcs backed by a White Dragon.
:ref:`gramdoul` was felled on that same day trying to defend it.


The Duchy
^^^^^^^^^
In the years after the fall a Drow couple, Tiago and Saribel, try to fashion a duchy from the ruins.
They employed Orcs to help them press-gang the remaining ~600 citizens into rebuilding the city.
However things do not go well with a broken population and eventually the couple cut their losses and leave.


Meeting Point
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It appears :ref:`fylo`, and his mercenary company, :ref:`black-mercenaries`, is now in control of the area.

While investigating enslavement of its former citizens :ref:`gramdoul` witnesses :ref:`nesme-meeting`.

There were ~60 Goblins, Dwarves, Elves, and Humans enslaved to mine under :ref:`nesme`'s Eastern wall.
:ref:`gramdoul` and :ref:`teleri-amber` freed them all.
The Goblins (~35), with :ref:`drinix` in charge, went their own way.
The remaining ~25 were lead to :ref:`mothers-bastion` by :ref:`gramdoul` and :ref:`teleri-amber`.
