Gordanfall

Gordanfall is the moutainous region in northwest De'Halin. It is the home of the Dwarves and a few human settlements.

Gordanius
The capital city of the Dwarves lies in the center of the Cadunius Mountains. The city is one large kingdom, ruled by a wise old dwarf fighter. The city was built before the End of Histories, so there are many unexplored parts of the city. The clans are all roughly the same in size, power and wealth. Each clan has one member who represents them on the Golden Council, whom directly advises the king.

There are 7 Clans:

Firebeard Clan

Clan Devilhunter

The Marblemails

Blackiron Clan

Faredge Clan

Clan Redaxe

Clan Oremelter

Denthar
The northern port of Denthar is a mixed settlement of dwarves and humans. Its one of the main trade routes that Gordanfall uses, as traveling through the Cadunius Mountains can be very treacherous.

Lore and Lengends
The dwarves have many lengends about places of great power and trasure.

The Caesa Stone
The Caesa Stone is a large block of stone said to be cut by Solrun. It suposedly has a mural of how the Dwarves were created on it. It is said that any dwarf who analyzes the stone will be given a divine connection to Solrun and become one of his chosen champions.

Underfall
Because the city was built before the End of Histories, the original building plans for the city are lost. There is said to be a section of Gordanius that lies someone deep below the Cadunius Mountains that holds ancient dwarven artifacts.

The Everforge
Solrun himself was said to have lit the fire of the Everforge thousand of years before the End of Histories. It is said that any weapon crafted in the Everforge will be infused with its magic and be indestructable. While its agreed by Dwarven historians that it does exist, nobody knows it location. Some believe that it lies in Underfall.

Gordan's Tomb
When Gordan Ironbreaker died it was said that every dwarf could feel him passing to the next world. A tomb about the size of a small city was built in his honor. To prevent thievs from gaining acess to it, powerful magics were used to protect it, and its location was known only by the new king and his trusted advisors. As time passed the location of the tomb was passed down from king to king until the abrupt death of King Stoneseaker, who was killed before he could pass on the location of the tomb. It is said that the tomb holds all of Gordan's Possessions.

Hammer of the Ironbreaker
Gordan Ironbreaker's hammer was said to be able to fell a gaint in one swing and cause the earth to treamble sending the foes of the Ironbreaker tumbling into the earth. Many a dwarf have tried to find where Gordan Ironbreak hid the Hammer, but if someone has found it, it hasn't been used in thousand of years. Most historians agree that it is in Gordan's Tomb, but some say that Gordan passed the hammer off to his clan and its protected by them to this day.

Important Persons
There are many dwarven heros and villians that have come out of Gordanfall in the last few thousand years.

Gordan Ironbreaker
Gordan Ironbreaker is possibly the most famous dwarf that ever lived. His is known for being the dwarven settler that started Gordanius, although it was called something else in his time. Because he lived before the End of Histories, all writen history about him is destroyed, but his lenged was not diminished due to the fact that every dwarf spoke of him and his lenged was carried on with oral traditions. It was said that he decided to create the city of Gordanius after viewing the Caesa Stone and recieving a vision from Solrun that he should create a city in the middle of the Cadunius Mountains. He died in battle against the Last Cylotitan, and the land was named Gordanfall in his name.

The Cylotitans
The Cylotitans were a race of giants who orginally inhabited the Cadunius Mountains. When the dwarves began settling down in their homeland they began attacking dwarven settlements. This lead to the Titan Wars and it said to have lasted over 300 years. But the dwarves were robust and managed to kill off all but the most powerful Clyotitan. Gordan Ironbreaker went himself to kill the last Cylotitan and after a battle that raged 2 days he was killed, but with his last dying breath he used all of his might to create a chasm that is said to have gone into the center of De'halin. The Cylotitan cound not get a grip on the now unstable ground and he fell into the chasm. While most historians agree that the fall would have killed the Cylotitan, some dwarves insist that they prepare for its return.

King Rnak Deepflame
The current king of Gordanius, King Rnak Deepflame has ruled for the last 175 years and will be turning 300 soon. He is concidered to be one of the wisest kings of his time, and proved himself to be a mighty combatent in the Battle of Tymehold. He has grown older since then though, and the kingdom knows that he will only be around for a few more decades.
