Ironhead Station
One of the most unusual settlements in all of Cygnar,
Ironhead Station exists entirely beneath the Wyrmwall
Mountains. The city is connected to the outside world
through a series of elaborate rail tunnels that run through
the Wyrmwall Mountains for sixty miles, only ten of them
aboveground. Excavated with the help of enterprising
dwarven settlers who left Rhul behind after the Orgoth
Occupation, Ironhead Station is home to more Rhulfolk than
humans, many of whom live in the nearby city of Ironhead
Enclave, which lies less than a mile away and entirely
underground.
In 609 AR, this city of several thousand dwarves was devastated by skirmishes between dragons. Even though the region has had many years to rebuild, the draconic blood spilled here left the taint of its blight in ways that can still be seen, and the stoic Rhulfolk of the Enclave still slay the occasional dragonspawn or other blighted beast in the tunnels.
Ironhead Station has enjoyed renewed prosperity in recent years as supplies and people have traveled along the underground rail to the more distant duchies and as rail lines have continued to expand throughout the kingdom, but the tunnels and mountains surrounding the city have also grown more perilous. Conflicts on the surface have stirred or emboldened things that slept beneath the earth, and miners and stevedores have come to local taverns to share tales of gravel-belching undead, spiders as big as warjacks (Steamjacks), and other, stranger things in the dark beneath the earth.
