Gol-dorth

Gol-dorth

Geography
Built into the mountains of The Gold Summit. There are 3 entrances to this underground city. One on the Southern edge and one on both the North Eastern and North Western sides. Inside the mountain is near darkness with torchlight and luminescent crystals providing light. The interior of the cave opens up reaching roughly 125 ft before reaching the stone of the mountain. Below are two additional landings each 50 ft below the next. Above the opening leading down is a platform suspended in place by massive chains. Sturdy ramps of steel and stone lead up to the platform from each of the entrerances.

Gol-dorth is laid out into four distinct levels; the topmost suspended by chains is the upper-class area, this is where the government bodies exist. The ground level is primarily a housing and shop district, though this floor is home to two mining tunnels, one to the east and one to the west. The second level is used for the refining of mined minerals; this is where you will find the smelters and blacksmiths along with their homes and shops. Exhausts are channeled through metal pipes and vent out through the sides of the mountain. This level has an additional two mines, one to the north and one on the east. The final level, is primarily smiths, forges and smelters. There are a few shops and inns on this level. This level is well guarded and home to the rarer minerals mined the mines on this level are on the Southern and Eastern walls

Trade
The dwarves of Gol-dorth primary export are the metals and minerals collected from their mines, most notably Mithril. Tradesmen are the only nondwarfs allowed inside the gates, all others will be turned away without proper paperwork allowing access.

Notable Locations
The Chains of Gol-dorth:

The Chains of Gol-dorth are the chains that suspend the upper level in the air. These massive chains are made entirely of Mithril save for the few that remain iron. In some places, you can see where the old iron chain had been cut into while trying to remove the link, though unsuccessful. In these locations, there are double links; one, the old damaged iron link and one pristine Mithril link

The Crying Gods:

Located on the bottom-most floor is a single tavern named The Crying Gods. Within its walls is the only nondwarf to live withing Gol-dorth, a one-armed elf named [name]. The Crying Gods get visitors from all levels of the city visiting, from the ground floor's families to the upper-most ranking military members.

Guilds
Miners:

The miners guild has set up six mines throughout the walls of Gol-dorth, two on each floor. The mines on the first floor provide copper, iron, coal, and flint. The mines on the second floor provide platinum, gold, and a small assortment of gems. The mines on the 3rd floor only supply mithril and granite.
