Lonalg City
Lonalg City is the primary settlement inside Lonalg Mountain. Built by the Granite Dwarves and first led by King Qilling the Founder. It was then later re-founded as the center of the Five Mountain Republic. During the days of the republic it prodcued a significant amount of Floating Granite and was well known for it's Cartaries and Skyships. After the republic's fall, the city lay waste for many generation until re-founded by Lady Tuffa the Bold. It slowly recovered until finally being a robust city by the time of the Minam Empire. Known during the Empire as a powerhouse in skyship construction and Voidship construction.
Demographics

Defences

Districts
Cavern Cities tend to be constructed in layers. A layer has multiple levels fairly close in distance that are interconnected. Between layers, there are often at least two passages to allow for alternate escapes. Each layer is designed to be mostly self sustaining, with access to water, air and emergency air, and some food stores.
Lonalg has the following Layers: Gateway Layer, Central Layer, High Vaults Layer, Baths Layer, and then there is the Relic Layer. Below Lonalg city there are the Lonalg Crypts and the Lower (Flooded) Crypts. The Great passage is almost it's own layer and has many chambers that head to what is known as Old Lairtown.
