Forge

Located at the base of the great mountain shrine of Yrthwright’s
Forge to the west of Tamalir, the city of Forge is one
of many dedicated to the art of the smithy. Although Forge
was once an ancient Dwarven stronghold, Humans became
part of it during the last Darkness, when its conqueror, the
Dragonlord Avox, demanded that it produce greater quantities
of arms and armor with the metal from its mines.
That destructive occupation means that much of Forge
is relatively new, as are many of the homesteads that were
constructed to house the enslaved Humans. Many Humans
reside in Burrow Town, a village clinging to the slopes of the
mountain and even cutting into the rock itself, but others are
scattered across the city, mixing with the Dwarven enclaves—
something that has not always led to smooth relations.
