Corbach

Overview

Corbach is a large mining city in the Dubhar Mountains and the capital of the island Brastir. The city has 6 districts and the mines.

History

What started as a small settlement in the mountains, grew into a large and beautiful city. Since the support of the The Dawn Empire, it has become a sprawling city smartly engineered on artificial islands on the lake. It used to be ruled by the family that first discovered the cavern, the Corbachs, but when Brastir was absorbed by the Empire, a change in leadership took place. This is still causing some unrest among the noble families. The new leader is a female dwarf, called .....

Goblin Slavery

The goblins and bugbears have been used for around 100 years to help in the mines.

Religion

Most dwarves in Corbach are very religious, and they pray often to one of the Virtues. It's a daily ritual to go by one of the temples or shrines and place a small offering or do a prayer.

Port & Customs

Space for quite some ships. You have to apply for a permit to go into the city. There is a customs gate, and next to it an office where you can apply for a permit. A young female dwarf takes care of this. The level of your permit decides which districts you can visit. Level 1 (5 gold) only gives access to the Trade District, Level 2 (10 gold) also to the others and Level 3 (50 gold) gives access to any place except the ruler island, that needs an extra permit. There are also specific permits that only allow some islands to be visited.

They give lessons at magic uni, where they got their own education as well. They are mostly independent from the rulers, but help with emergencies. They also have to help in marine efforts sometimes, but prefer to focus on research.

Two dwarf mages live here: Yustrotir (Yust) & Yanmalynn (Lynn) Bookwyrm. Lynn is very confused and forgets easily (something went wrong with an experiment). They can make scrolls for you. They have a servant dwarf who takes questions and orders. Lynn thinks he is named Warf or Warg, but his actual name is Marus. The Tower is actually two towers will different levels.
