Auchterader (Auch-ter-ader)
Auchterader is a sprawling dwarven city, carved in equal parts from the unforgiving Claw Crag Mountains and opened to the sky above. Its population is a mixture of races, united in their allegiance to the iron-fisted Warthane Clan.
The walls of the city run from the highest peak of the Crags, down to the sprawling and surreal rock formations at their base. Every aerie, tower and spire of Auchterader is expertly carved, providing strong fortifications for the residents of the city. As these fortifications are needed, as the Warthane Clan tirelessly patrols the Savage Lands and fight against the encroaching dark forces that threaten the lands from afar.
Auchterader is far from a desolate military stronghold, however. The city is lined with streets teeming with shops and vibrant night markets, selling wares from all across the the Ravaged Continent. Its cobbled streets are lined with lively taverns, where bards entertain the revelers with tales of great legends and heroes, alike.
The Warthane Clan has strong ties to the Savage Elves, the enigmatic natives of the Savage Lands, with whom they have forged a close alliance. Indeed, many Elves visit Auchterader to take part in the city's thriving trade and to purchase the weapons and items the dwarven smiths forge for them in support of their war effort. On rare occasions, some Savage Elves would stay in the city for a longer period of time, offering unique insights into their culture and customs in return.
In the end, Auchterader is a city of strength, of unity, of culture and of trade. It is at once a bastion against the darkness besetting the Savage Lands, and a conduit of knowledge and progress. A shining beacon in the mountains, the Warthane Clan and the dwarves of Auchterader are determined to protect it with all their might.
