Eluroc City
Eluroc City, the thriving home to the Golems, rests at the heart of the Nol Ridge. The city has prospered ever since its establishment, serving as one of the world's major capitals.
Demographics
Eluroc City is almost exclusively home to Golems, but occurrences of Draconians or Iron Talos from surrounding settlements are somewhat prevalent. The only people explicitly excluded from the settlement are the Steel Talos, in light of the conflict brewing between them and the Golems.
Defences
The very mountain that Eluroc is nested in is a defense, due to its massive stone walls and jagged peaks, though the city itself has a massive gate system to guard the entrance.
Industry & Trade
Eluroc Golems are renowned globally for their artistic proficiency in metalwork, and their skills are a massive part of the city's trade. Eluroc's industry also involves the export of metal and stone, both raw and refined, to places across the world. Perhaps their most notable export is the specialized alloy known as Alcian Steel, the metal popularized for both its beauty and strength. Its means of production have been kept a close secret among the metallurgists in Eluroc, making the metal a big export and asset for the city.
Infrastructure
The entrances to several mines and quarries line the path down to the second layer, digging deep underground for material. Curiously, there are few means of water access or sewage due to the vastly inorganic population, though there is a lone water tower and pipe network in the first and third layers.
Districts
Eluroc City is split into three distinct sectors, each corresponding to the city's elevation in the mountain. The first layer is the one most readily available to travelers and tourists alike, it takes up the upper half of the mountain and concerns commerce, tourism, and, rarely, food. Usually, the upper layer of Eluroc is the one that has the most outsiders, the other districts are more ill-suited for anyone that's not a golem.
The second layer is the residential area, positioned in the mountain's bottom half, and a majority of the space is taken up by houses, some schools, and still the occasional restaurant or farm. The residential area only is used by those who actually live in the city, and is usually of the least interest to travelers.
The third and final area is in the very heart of the mountain, reaching deep underground, and handles most of the education and work of the city. The third layer is of interest to most of the non-golems that come to live in Eluroc, due to the arts that can be learned from experienced metal artisans.

Assets
The Nol Ridge's vast array of natural resources such as tungsten or iron allow for Eluroc to have many valuable exports. Along with these is the special alloy they have developed, which is an asset exclusive to Eluroc only. The city has raw material, in the form of metals and stone, processed products, as tools, swords, and other smithed items, and services, classes to provide.
Points of interest
At the very heart of the city, the dead center of the deepest layer, there lies a massive blast furnace. This furnace was built at the establishment of the city, and has been functioning and melting metals ever since.
