Overview

Dholrim, the City Under the Mountain, lies beneath the peaks at the western end of the Spine. The dwarves and burrowfolk of yore carved its halls from the rock to reflect the grandeur of the cavernous Great Temple of Xeros that stands there. To survive the ruin of the Cataclysm, Dholrim put aside its age-old feuds and made a deal with a powerful dragon for protection. Under their vigilant watch, the city continues to delve for the riches of the earth. Its people are fastidious and headstrong in their chosen pursuits, particularly metalworking and stonecraft. Many of the city's inhabitants can claim descent from those first dwarven and burrowfolk families who settled in its depths, and dwarven culture pervades every aspect of Dholric society.

Dholrim takes its inspiration and influence from Tolkien Dwarves and the Dwemer of the Elder Scrolls franchise, with geometric and Art Deco motifs adorning garb of angular profiles and metallic or gemstone adornments.

Is this Enclave Fallen?

This Enclave is not fallen. While the outside defenses of its stone walls remained strong, the Bloodless emerging from the depths of the caverns below threatened to overwhelm the the city. That was until an alliance was made with the ancient dragon under the mountain: Daedalix, the Emberheart.
