The Deep Roads

The area west and south of Citadel Sigmifell as far as Kara-Dur was once occupied by the dwarves of Doregul. Few dwarves dwell in the ancient realm now; its mines are played out, and the dwarves have found more metal to keep them busy further north along the coast of Thali Bay. This abandonment (some would call it a retreat) is unfortunate, however, since the Deep Roads formerly boasted an excellent underground highway system that allowed dwarves and their allies to move swiftly and easily under the Ironback Mountains.   With the rise of the Imperial Empire of Elion, some young dwarves and dragonborn in Citadel Sigmifell want to do more than secure the areas immediately beneath their cities— they want to reclaim the Deep Roads. In fact, much can be said for this scheme. The roads and cunning dwarven defenses are still in decent shape, and the Empire would benefit from a readymade road system under the entire region. But reclaiming it from demons, monstrosities, and other assorted regional pests that now occupy the area would not be so easy, and the Empire has more immediate concerns.   Rurik Silverhilt (CG male dwarf), however, does not. His clan is wealthy, and Rurik is more than willing to spend his clan’s money on hiring and equipping competent adventurers to clean out the Deep Roads. Of course, such a task is much too big for a single group of adventurers; it’s a job for a nation of dwarves and dragonborn. Still, Rurik thinks that if he can hire enough people to reclaim just the road between Citadel Sigmifell and Deepburrow, then his dream would seem more possible to the other dwarves and dragonborn, and they might rally to his cause.
