Ironhold

Ironhold is a bustling, fortified city strategically located at the crossroads of major trade routes in Rusthearth. The city's imposing walls, built from iron and stone, reflect its namesake and the resources that flow through it. Ironhold's architecture features a blend of steampunk and industrial design, with towering storage silos, intricate clockwork mechanisms, and iron bridges crisscrossing the urban landscape. The streets of Ironhold are alive with the constant hum of machinery and the clatter of steam-powered vehicles. The city's central market is a hub of economic activity, where traders from across Rusthearth gather to buy and sell raw materials. However, the city's focus is more on storage than on large-scale manufacturing.
Ironhold serves as the main repository for ores mined in Stoneheim and Ironwood. Due to its strategic position, all ores funnel into Ironhold by carriage, making it incredibly wealthy and influential. Industries often buy in bulk, and trains with carriages are then sent directly to them. The city's warehouses, equipped with steam-powered lifting and transportation devices, ensure that the movement of goods is swift and secure.
