Athtvr Orhim

Alternate Names

Athvr Orhim (West Home), is variously known as Athvr Orhim and Athur Orhim.

Name Implications

The term for West here is a combination of the words Ath (Be) and Tvr (Short) - implying the Dwarves came from the West originally. This is the Homeland Stronghold and only second in size and power to that of the Dwarven Capital Klarth Baor

Overview

This stronghold is the largest in the Kingdom. The command of it falling to the most skilled of Generals in the Dwarven Forces.

The West Home stronghold is a multi-leveled fortress that extends deeply into the very plateau strata itself. The Towers above the complex are in actuality Greater Stone Golems (a total on 10 per tower) that are formed in the shape of statues on the lower two levels of the towers - changing as is needed to destroy any attempting to damage the stronghold.

Purpose / Function

The defense of the main passes approaching from Atlantia Planetia and the Central-Terra Pass from the Anapodes Palm. This is intended as the main strategic point that guards the plateau from any Western or South Western approach. 

Alterations

Each of the four main corner towers - each tower was altered to include Giant Stone Golems on each of the Towers. 

Architecture

The Fortress is based on Classical Dwarven Battletecture - the creation of fortresses that naturally create multiple lines of overlapping cross fire through the use of firing positions that not only allow for direct fire but also indirect and ricochet shots to cover all points approach to the fortress, and the passes that it guards.
