Citadel Maron

Citadel Marón was designed to be the first line of defense should the realms of man ever try to impede on Dwarven territory. For this reason the surface city of Citadel Marón is guarded on its northern border by a towering mountain that holds the Forge district, and wrapped around its others 3 layered, Bronze walls fit with Gatlin guns and moats. Led by Lord MountainHäl Citadel Marón is currently in a state of martial law. Outsiders are not allowed in any parts of the undercity. All mining and underground travel has been fully cut off because of the Neothelid encroaching further into the city. On top of this, people are attempting to leave the city and desert in droves as their fellow guards, soldiers, family members, and friends are acting strangely. Random acts of violence plague the marketplaces and the Imperium doesn't know where to begin.

Districts

The Upper City-

• The Walls- a strict set of military defenses where guards and soldiers are stationed 24 hours a day. Each area of the wall has new opportunity for outsiders to be stopped and searched. Getting into the Dwarf territories requires several permits and loads of paperwork and even then some outsiders may just be turned away. Fitted with Gatlin Guns and holds no businesses, only military infrastructure.
• Little CrownLand- a series of popup shops and traders, mostly sponsored by the Caravaneers Guild in some respect. Ran by human traders, Hill Dwarves, and Gnomes, many criticize the existence of this trading camp as there is still much support there for King Tais.
• The GreenHill District- built on an area that gets minimal snow throughout the year until winter arrives. Contains farms, homes of many of the city's Hill Dwarves, and a Meadwagon Brewing Co. And Inn
• The SunGuild District- an area set aside for the various lesser Hill Dwarf and Gnome Guildhalls, as well as more important guilds like Clan Meadwagon, Clan Gnotthach, and Clan Marón

Under City-

• The War Hall- Previously the only part of the undercity that allowed outsiders, this district is now a ghost town. Holds historical artifacts and records that are made public for sages to research
• The Guilders District- holds a majority of the city's crafting and artisan guilds as well as the major guild halls for the city. This part of the city also contains many of the more permanent shops and institutions in the city
• The Arms District- an area of the city containing the most guard barracks, military storage, and training facilities. This part of the city also contains the city's forges and Blacksmiths.
• The DeepDig District- Holds most of the city's mines and industrial warehousing. Few people live here and very few guilds other than Clan DeepDig actually operate in this area. Recently the mines have been closed making this district fall into disrepair and become a haven for criminals.
• The Bedding District- Holds the city's brothels, inns, taverns, and most of the Mountain Dwarves actual homes. 
• The Moradin District- holds the noble family's homes and offices. Also contains the city's only temple, a well funded temple to Moradin the All-Father in the shape of the God himself in a combat position with a sword and shield. This temple also acts as the last of the Dwarf Collosus war-machines.
