History
The settlement of Undermountain was founded by 19 Duergar Smiths and an adventurer known as Spark in the year 1301 the ancient dwarven halls were once a prosperous and well-defended stronghold but a large group of orcs invaded and took command of the stronghold. Spark and the Duergar attacked their stronghold with a clockwork dragon that had been in development for years. With the clockwork dragon, all of the orcs were either slain or driven out. After the stronghold was recaptured many dwarves hearing the good news traveled to Undermountain to live in the ancient halls once more. The Dwarves quickly piled up and started adding defenses and reforming the prosperous jewel mining and refining industry.
Industry
As well as acting as an Astiria military point, Undermountain houses a large dwarf population of arcanists, smiths, and miners, who make riches off of the ancient mines and halls that were abandoned long ago. There is also a prominent adventure industry in mapping out the halls and clearing them of hostiles so the dwarves can reclaim them as part of their kingdom.
Description
The mountain lies hidden in the mists of the Withcove marshes. The mountain itself is not very tall only peaking at about 600 feet. Outside the doors, the area has no roads and is very difficult to travel through. The stronghold has several main chambers and a prosperous mine. There is also ancient ruins hidden in the far backs of the deep caverns.
