Valkana

Valkana is the largest dwarven city on Irdas, located within Mt. Valkana, the tallest mountain in the Valkana range. It is a massive citadel that sprawls out through the carved tunnels and caves within and below the mountain.

The city itself is built into a massive hollow chamber within the mountain proper, with huge spires that rise from the bottom to the top of the cave like massive stalacmites. The lower levels of the city are used for mining and metalworking. The city runs deep and wide beneath the mountain and used to be the hub of the Deep Roads, a massive highway network connecting all the old dwarven cities. Sadly, this network has been abandoned for over a millenium.

Valkana is governed by the Althing, a meeting of the noble caste each year. These noble families gather together once a year and solve disputes and resolve issues by discussing the law and voting upon the result.
