Kovsholm
Kovsholm is a prosperous resort town nestled in the High Valleys of the Riikbar Mountains. It was founded as a mining town and still produces, and exports many valuable ores but it is more widely known for its favorable climate, stunning vistas and retreats, resorts and villas for the wealthy and elite.
While the appearance of the town seems prosperous and the economy supports numerous areas for rest and relaxation, there are several areas housing a subjugated population of dwarves that work the mines and perform other menial services for their human masters. A growing sense of unrest and resistance has begun to take shape as the elite population grows more distant and decadent.
