Demographics
While you suspect many may pass through this area as you begin traveling deeper into the city in the gorge you notice a large population of Gnomes and Dwarfs walking around carrying materials and tools and the sound of metalworking is ringing out against the steep rock faces
Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings, and Humans make up most of the resident population of Elderburrow.Government
Elderburrow is built more like a collection of communities all banding together with a similar goal, the result of this is that there is no central power-making body in Elderburrow but rather a collective agreement by residents not to cause any disturbances or seek trouble within city limits.
Defences
The Craftmaker city is built into a large gorge, the city itself built into the tall looming rock faces making the whole city well-defended from anything short of a frontal assault.
Industry & Trade
While many that produce quality works in Elderburrow do not ship their products to other cities some that wish to mass produce or earn the funds to pursue better works hire trade companies like the Balworth Trading Company to ship their products to Brightshore to be sold.
Infrastructure
To best utilize the space and materials found within the steep rock walls of the Ferrigo Mountains the craftsmen of Elderburrow carved out many forges and mines directly into the walls of the canyon, with the natural heat and minerals located in the rock it has allowed many forms of craftsmen to practice their specific craft without needing to leave or seek out materials outside the city itself.

Architecture
With limited space, most of the buildings in Elderburrow are built directly into the rock walls resulting in cavelike buildings. Usually, these rock outcroppings have intricate stonework entrances slightly outside the cave walls with the interior of the businesses being decorated in a variety of ways. Most if not all of the carved areas are box-shaped with few others being differing shapes.
Geography
Constructed in the Rust Crag, one of the only natural passes out of the Crimson Desert; Elderburrow is built into the high spanning rock walls surrounding the pass. The construction of the city still allows passage through the valley while also allowing the craftsman working and living there to access the mineral deposits in the rock face.
Natural Resources
Large amounts of quality ore and other such materials can be found in abundance within the rock walls surrounding Elderburrow which attracts many craftsmen to the valley city.
