Ironvale

Ironvale is a Dwarven City state, it is a self contained kingdom and has a large all dwarven population, but does welcome visitors, most of the building are underground or in the side of the mountais that encircle the valey it is situated in.

Ironvale valley is near the borders of the Human kingdoms of Hirikith and Tausia

Ironvale has a series of heavily fortified gates that protect the entrance to the valley that are constantly guarded.

Ironvale is famous for having one of the longest bars of any tavern known to dwarven kind in its main tavern, this also a very large tavern with clean undergroud stable facilities for hundreds of horses. It is popular with visitors to the area, despite its very large size it manages to maintain a cosy atmosphere due to the low dwarven style ceilings and the many fireplaces that line the walls.

Ironvale also houses a great library that nobody is supposed to know about other than the dwarves, The Great Library of Ironvale, this is posably one of the worst kept secrets in dwarven history. As a result one must petition the king to gain access.

Ironvale came into being early in the campaign, it was a randomly generated name from a fantasy name place generator. Originally just a name to put on a signpost to indicate that it was the wrong way to go if one was trying to go to Orton, the party's destination at the behest of Lord Furion.

The name however screamed Dwarf, so it was pretty clear who would live there if anyone ever found reason to visit.
