Hillhive

Tucked into the rolling hills on the eastern side of The Marches, Hillhive is a bustling trade hub. Dug directly into the hills, this sprawling network of tunnels, caves and passageways serves as a haven for the shorter races... as very few of the tunnels and common areas are larger than 5ft tall, or 10ft wide.

Ruled by a small council of merchants and civil servants, this city has few laws. The laws in place are almost exclusively anti-theft, anti-violence, or anti-slavery laws, with most other actions being permitted... within reason.

Architecture
