Village of Bholgalor

All that glitters is ours.

The dwarven village of Bholgalor lies nestled between a mountain range and lake of the same name. Led by its benevolent ruler, Gilthur Deepdelver, the village has enjoyed centuries of prosperity as the mining and smithing hub of the Kingdom of Sorrano. The lake and mountains afford the dwarves here an almost impenetrable defensive position, sparing them from the wrath and ruin that others in the kingdom have suffered during past invasions. The very same lake provides shipping access from the Village of Bholgalor through the Town of Blackburn, up the Heart River through the Village of Langdale and the Village of Millfield, finally arriving in the Capital City of Kord and to ports beyond. Nearly all of the dwarves of Bholgalor have only ever known peace and prosperity in their wonderful, little village.
