Embergate
A fortress town built around a colossal, lava-filled pit, Embergate is said to guard the Frozen Isles against the depths of the Underdark and a stream of monsters which emerge from the world below. Ancient obsidian walls wrap around "The Wound", with their maker unknown, which are manned constantly by Emberguard, who don distinctive obsidian weaponry.
Embergate has a high level of respect by the other clans and tribes of the Frozen Isles, and therefore are rarely roped into conflict, primarily focused on keeping their walls strong, and people safe from the beasts which emerge from the depths.
Embergate has held strong against a great many armies across the years. Drow, Duergar, undead hordes, and cursed abominations have all fought to break out of Embergate. Very few have succeeded. The most infamous loss however was in the 12th Era, when a great Drow Queen- Xune the Bloody, broke through the Embergate and ruled much of the Frozen Isles for a period of time. After centuries, the Drow rule of the surface was broken, and Embergate was re-founded.
Currently, Embergate battles against a mystical army of terracotta warriors who were awoken in the "Black Expedition", and now battle to try and break out onto the surface.
