Crestfall

The biggest settlement of Undina, the exact history of Crestfall is unknown, with even less being known by non-Dwarfs. What is known is that the 'city' was around during the old Draconic Empire, though it was never mentioned by the Phervian. Trade reopened shortly after the Slave rebellions started, with trade opening with the Orkish settlements of the blessed plains.  

Major areas of Crestfall

The 'city' is spread over three mountains and is split into fifteen urban centers, each boasting between three to ten wards, several of which are split into districts. These are connected by a network of tunnels and caverns, with various halls in the gaps. At the center of all this is the Titan's halls.  

Titan's halls

Also known as the Titan's Palace, this is the administrative center of the entire Underempire, these giant hallways are split into three sections all off a large, elaborately decorated hall adorned with statues of the five Dwarvish noble caste gods.

Platnium palace

The most decorated area of the halls is the home to the Storm lord, ruler of the entire Underempire. At first, it seems like a traditional palace, with a distinct lack of servants and servant areas, however, on closer inspection, a 'mirror' of the palace is just behind the walls where the servants, live, move around, and work, access to the main palace is done through secret doors in every room. Each of the palace rooms is highly decorated, with the entrance doors having platinum reliefs.

Granite Throne

A king shouldn't be comfortable when holding court, lest he forgets his duties

A single large room with benches along the sides and a throne made of a single slab of hard granite at one end. This is the throne room, where the council meets, the Storm Lord holds court, and important trials are held. The main door opposite the throne acts as the main entrance from the courtyard, with a smaller entrance being available behind the throne connecting to the Platinum Palace.

Hall of Stone

The largest section of the halls, it is a vast library with the full history of Dwarfs, including lists of every caste and who's a member of it on the Western continent.
