Jarrenvale

Demographics

Jarrenvale is mostly inhabited by dwarves. There are some tinker gnomes, but a much lower percentage of them than other dwarvish settlements. The dwarves of Jarrenvale tend to be less welcoming of other races.

Government

Jarl Ulfgar, son of Rolf is the leader of the government of Jarrenvale. He has been the Jarl for most of his long life, and is well respected.

Defences

Jarrenvale was founded as a military base, so it has many defenses. Getting in or out of the city requires going through several layers of security and guards. The city also has more guards than any other dwarvish city, including Dwarvenheim. The guards are led by their captain, Jorvolda Jadeborn.

Infrastructure

There are two roads that lead from Jarrenvale to Dwarvenheim. One of these roads is above ground, and the other is underground. 
There is also an underground road that leads to Ironhook Bay.

History

Jarrenvale was founded by Jarl Rolf, son of Dulnir as a military base for the Dwarvish Army towards the end of the Great Dwarvish War. Jarrenvale was instrumental in driving the Orcs out. After the war, Jarrenvale became a city inhabited by civilians, but remained a military base that is primarily responsible for keeping the orcs out of the Dwarvish Mountains. 
Rolf passed on Jarrenvale to his son in 117 2E. During the Second Era, Jarrenvale was also instrumental in keeping the Evil Overlord out of the Dwarvish Mountains.
