The Founding of Ironhold

Founding

The Cogweavers expand their mining operation and begin to attract other gnomes to the area. The settlement that will become Ironhold begins to take shape.

With the discovery of the iron ore vein by the Cogweavers tribe nearly two decades prior, the gnomes of the Cogweaver clan had finally found their opportunity to establish their own mining operation. In the Balcor Peaks, they worked tirelessly to extract the precious metal, and their efforts proved successful. As word spread of the Cogweaver's success, other gnomes began to take notice, and soon, the settlement that would become Ironhold was born. As the Cogweavers expanded their mining operation, their expertise in the field began to attract other skilled gnomes to the area. These newcomers brought with them new ideas and innovations, allowing the settlement to grow rapidly. With the influx of new settlers, Ironhold began to take shape as a bustling hub of industry and commerce. Soon, the streets were lined with shops and businesses, and the clang of hammers and the roar of the forges could be heard throughout the day and into the night.   As the population of Ironhold continued to grow, the gnomes of the Cogweaver clan remained at the forefront of the city's development. Tibbolt Cogweaver, in particular, played a crucial role in the expansion of the Ironbeards' mining operation. His tireless work in the mines and his innovative thinking helped to ensure that the settlement continued to prosper.   The gnomes of Ironhold had established themselves as masters of industry, and their success only continued to grow with each passing day. From the humble beginnings of the Cogweaver's mining operation, a great city had emerged, one that would become known far and wide as a hub of progress and innovation.
