Bugbore (bug · bor)

Demographics

Bugbore consisted of mainly dwarves, where they would make up around 85% of the population, The rest were around 5% humans, and 10% other mixed races. People mainly moved to Bugbore for their connection to the spiritual planes. Bugbore had a few of the largest spiritual temples, where people would learn about their inner selves and the various pantheons of the gods. Monk "Youdon Tyatso" was the head monk of the temples, he would often find those that are in need and train them personally.

Government

Vrikodara Ahuja is the reigning monarch, he treats his people with fairness, compassion, and a strong sense of justice. He is also seen as a respected spiritual leader and a fair ruler who is dedicated to the well-being of his people. He always leads by example and is often seen helping in the various activities of the city, be it in mending to the crops or training new monks, he is always there to lend a hand. 
Ahuja always made sure to consult the spiritual leaders in all matters, that way he could see the point of view of all his people. Ahuja didn't have a council, he mended all issues in his town by himself, and he trusted that his people would take care of whatever is needed and come to him if they need his help.

Infrastructure

The bulk of the town was at the peak of the Bugbore mountain, with smaller parts running down the mountain. The mountain was also surrounded by watchtowers as a means of protection. "The Harpers" and "The Order of the Gauntlet" both had their base of operations in Bugbore, this was because of how protected the city was and how fair their ruler is.
The majority of the large buildings in Bugbore were temples and religious centers of the community, where the Bugboreans would gather to pray, meditate, and perform rituals and ceremonies. The temples are ornately decorated with carvings, statues, and frescoes depicting multiple different gods and goddesses. The symbols were carved by the dwarves as they have an innate connection with stone and mountains. There is also the main monastery, it is the main area of the monks and where they live, sleep, eat, and study.
The various mountains were also scattered with gardens and terraces, these are used for farming and growing food for the community. They are carved into mountainside to make use of the limited space. Bugbore also had access to multiple wells that supplied water to the entire community. 
The peaks of some mountains were connected by bridges, these allow the dwarves to connect all their mountains in order to better fortify them, and in the case of an emergency, they can be used as chokeholds for incoming enemies.

Natural Resources

The waters of Bugbore have changed overtime, gaining some spiritual and magical attributes. It is theorized that the prayers and spirituality of the monks have caused the water to be altered.
This enchanted water has multiple healing properties, both physical and spiritual. It could be used to treat illnesses, speed up recovery, and some say even bring people back from the brink of death.
The waters are also used in spiritual processes, such as meditation and astral/ethereal projection. It could be used to connect with the divine, to purify the soul, or to aid in the attainment of enlightenment.
