Northern Dawn

Winds from the bitter-cold north bring regular snow to the jagged peaks of the Northern Dawn mountains. Wrap up warm, adventurer, because this land is not your friend. The skies here are criss-crossed by stalking wyvern. Giants roam the icey mountain paths, and gem-encrusted golems of the earth slumber below. The only solice for our kind can be found in the city of Tâgileim. Warbles of ages long gone still echo around the huge underground cathedrals of the greatest dwarven city ever built. Ancient treasures, ornate carvings, and tapestries of gold adorn every wall; whilst their picks and hammers resound a metalic melody in the mines below. But be not careless in the dark. For in the deepest tunnels—deeper than even dwarves like to dwell—the earth broils into liquid magma as the mountains’ volcanic underbelly churns. And here be demons.
