Kiraad'duvuun

Overview

This is the capital of dwarven culture and civilization in Vesnya. The great city of Ekkag'varum, or the City of Great Halls, and the City of Final Duels, is known for its wide gathering places, diverse travelers, and ability to find almost anything mined underground here in this city.

Ruled by the Brightforger Clan for many generations, this city takes pride in the rulers. The city is vast with its ability for dwarves to make dealings, fight, drink, duel, and settle disagreements. Also known as the City of Final Duels, this is where if two dwarves, whether Fighting Barons or commoners, have a disagreement, if they duel here, the outcome is settled. Dwarves let the past be the past afterwards. "All stones under the mine" as they say.
