Karvok-Dur
Karvok-Dur is a proud bastion of martial might and craftsmanship known as the “Shield of the South.” It supplies the kingdom with arms and armor. Thane Hrolgar leads from Steelmarch, where he’s often seen training troops or inspecting forge lines. Revered for surviving six sieges and never retreating, his rule is defined by loyalty and hard-earned respect. The Cindergate Crucible lies at the heart of the city, where chosen weapons are tempered in sacred flame.
