Neralduhr
Neralduhr is the capital of Gronndalheim. It is more of a large fortress than it is a city and serves as a home for the high King and his clan.
Defences
The Capitol City is more of a glorified fortress. Massive 5ft thick stone walls surround it on all sides, complete with battlements for crossbowmen to fire in unwanted guests. The dining hall at the center has an entrance to an underground bunker where the common folk can take shelter if things get dire. Once sealed, the bunker is almost impossible to open from the outside.
History
The city was built at the site where king Magmyr Dragonrock and his forces stood their ground against the orcs of the Ebon Claw mountains. The dwarves had traveled far from the south searching for new land to claim as their own. When they arrived in the Tholgari Highlands they decided their journey had come to an end. They would need to earn their new home however as the orcs, fire giants and even a few dragons would descend from the mountains to test their claim throughout the years. Neralduhr was the first clan fort ever built, and to this day still houses the Dragonrock clan.
Architecture
The hildwerg use stone exclusively in the construction of their buildings. The black granite mined from the Ebon Claw mountains gives the fortress a very imposing look. Like their mountain dwelling cousins to the south the hildwerg favor geometric patters and images of their ancestors carved into every wall, pillar and ceilings.
