The Forges

Set in a long and small valley higher up in the mountains northwest of the Dom of Raone, The Forges of Bramoline are a grouping of dense cities spread out over the valley. Each city has claimed a small lake, which are created by natural hot springs. The hot springs provides excellent source of heat in the frigid winters, but are mainly used to aid in the heat of their Forges. Each Forge is a massive construction, with pipes leading to smaller forges that individual smiths can use to make parts, weapons, armor, glass blowers, or fuel large mechanical engines for various purposes.   Each of the five cities (referred to as Forges) are run by a clan, and more often than not, the clans are always fighting and competing between each other. Raonens simply refer the group of cities as The Forges, but this would be an insult to any local of any Forge since each clan has their own pride. However, each of the clans politically get along when dealing with outsiders that they commonly like, dislike, respect, or hate.   Despite their messed up politics, each of the Forges are renowned for whatever specialty they create as a city/clan. One is best known for armor, another for unique weapons, and yet another for their construction and engineering feats, and still another is known for creating automatons, and the last is known for delicate devices and contraptions.
