Thorgrim's Landing

Thorgrim's Landing is as the name suggests, the landing point of Thorgrim Silverhand's expeditionary force. This expedition was organized by a Dwarvish coalition to explore the lost continent of Thorn. The outpost was established in the spring of 1491 DR.
Thorgrim's Landing is still several years away from being a fully self-sustaining colony and currently depends on shipments of grain and supplies from the west coast of Faerûn. Thorgrim hopes to bring in fishermen and a few farmers over the next year to help shore up the food stores for the expedition. Craftsmen such as stonemasons and smiths are also in high demand.
The expeditionary force proper is mostly composed of a mix of rangers, archeologists, and master surveyors with a small company of well-armed dwarven troops for defense.

Demographics

The quickly growing population of the expeditionary force outpost is primarily comprised of dwarves, although there are a smattering of halflings, gnomes, and humans, most of whom were brought along for specialized professional knowledge.

Defences

Defensive earthworks are in the early stages of being built, and a sturdy wooden stockade fence has been constructed as temporary protection around the camp until proper dwarven fortifications are complete.

Infrastructure

Tents provide temporary shelter for most of the population while more permanent shelters are being dug into the mountainside.
The outpost has several smithys, a small trading post, a small, temporary quartermaster warehouse, a lumberyard, a grain mill, and a brewery.

Natural Resources

With vast forests for lumber, a safe harbor for a future port city, and a nearby site under survey as a possible granite quarry, this outpost is almost ideally located, and stands a good chance of becoming a major population center one day.
