Kavzar

Kavzar (Clan of Steel)

Population: ~52,000
Leader: High Forgemaster Thrain Steelmantle – a stoic and calculating artisan-lord, clad in rune-forged plate and known for his mastery over both metallurgy and logistics.
Unique Feature: The Shardheart Mine – an immense crystalline mine whose magical shards are used in warforged cores, rune conduits, and arcane stabilizers.

Kavzar is the gleaming engine of dwarven precision and magical integration. Dug deep into the crystalline bedrock of Mount Harok's shoulder, the city reflects the cold, shimmering light of the fragment veins that snake through its walls and streets. The Clan of Steel, long known for bridging tradition and innovation, governs here with mechanical discipline and clockwork efficiency. High Forgemaster Thrain Steelmantle is a methodical, battle-tempered leader who views city planning like crafting a perfect blade—each part has purpose, each flaw is unacceptable. The city’s heart is the Fragment heart Mine, a glowing pit of refractive arcane crystal that powers both Kavzar’s forges and its defenses.
