Ironhold

Deep under the surface of Doat ,a dwarven stronghold rings out with a cacophony of noise. A population of 10,000 go about their business in this capitol of Doat Proper. The city itself is divided into warrens, a means originally to ensure equal growth and distribution services, but time and treachery have had their way with such well meaning plans. Closest to the gates each visitor is struck with the majesty of construction and craftsmanship as building tower hundreds of tall inside the cavern, creating an illusion that the actually may be joined at the ceiling! Past this Government district is the Guild district to the north, the Highland district to the south, the Lowland district to the west, and the Barrens outside the west gate. Like most cities, Ironhold has its share of armorers, both mundane and arcane, as well as craftsmen, shops, restaurants, inns, and numerous taverns. There is an open square the has a recessed pit with benches carved around it for tournament fighting and political speeches. While truly a dwarven stronghold, there are neighborhoods of humans, gnomes, some dark elves that have managed to maintain a small sense of culture in this busy metropolis.
