Karak Varn
Built into the cliffs overlooking Black Water, Karak Varn (Lake Hold) sat on the largest known deposit of gromril ore. The earthquakes that heralded the Age of Woes caused the lake’s waters to flood the hold’s lower deeps. Thousands of Dwarfs perished, and a hoard of treasure was lost. In –1499 IC, Orcs attacked from above while the Skaven attacked the unflooded deeps. Many Dwarfs died defending the hold, and others were forced to retreat after heavy losses.
Known to Humans as Cragmere, Dwarfs have made many expeditions to recover gromril from the flooded site. Efforts have been made more dangerous by the presence of Orcs, Skaven, and even fouler creatures in the ruined deeps. The Dwarfs’ current enclave in its Upper Deep endures, at least for now.
