Hazad-Burgh

The Great Mountain Clan of Targ created the kingdom of Hazad with its primary mines and citadel at Hazad-Burgh. Their mines were wealthy and one of the few sources of ironstone, but were under constant threat of attack being built so close to the Giantlands. When the defenses finally fell in 3160 I.R. after many years of declining population, the surviving remnant scattered into the mountains to the west while many migrated east into Southvale. It was this migration that led to the establishment of Durandel and the creation of the second great Targ citadel. Today, the empty halls of Hazad-Burgh are stalked by giants, undead guardians, and worse, and are avoided by all but the bravest. The most interesting tales of late speak of a blue dwarven ghost drifting among the corridors. However, there are also always tales of lost treasure caches within to convince the foolhardy to tempt their fate.
