══════════════════════════════════════════
Clekeghar Castle
Clekeghar Castle, located in Chommery City, is the current home of King Hudrot. His Concubines are treated fairly well, all things considered, and he has made many additions to his castle over his long years of rule. It continues to build deeper into the mountain and underground, as an ever-expanding project.
Throne Room
The Throne Room has been built with larger-species in mind. It has eighteen foot ceilings, and has large double doors for guests. The King spends most of his time in this room, overlooking the city behind his chair that is able to face any direction. When guests are welcomed into the Throne Room, they are met with bronze and gold carpets and stone columns.
The Tipsy Dwarf Tavern
The Tipsy Dwarf Tavern is located in Clehlens, a happening spot on cold nights and a great place to have drink-offs and competitions. Dwarves love competition. The Tavern always has a fire blazing, no matter the temperature outside, while the city itself does not see a lot of snow, even in the middle of winter. The Tipsy Dwarf Tavern has some of the strongest ale in the world, and is always looking for new brews to sell to wary travelers.
Dragon's Fire Marketplace
Dragon's Fire Marketplace is located in Cidocaestum, the city on the pier. The Market uses the seafood caught to display on its stands, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables, wine, and beautiful spreads of bread, grains and meats. Dragon's Fire Marketplace encourages trading with its merchants instead of just providing coin. There are plenty of stands, each with their own wares, though merchants here try hard to negotiate a sale to any who pass by.
Sticks and Stones Auction House
Located in Cholis, Sticks and Stones Auction house allows for goods to be sold cheaper than in shops and sent by mail to those who wish to purchase outside the city or country. Mirco Griffins and Mini Dragons are capable of carrying most deliveries quickly to their destination, and so adventurers are often paid to send their Monsters to a drop-off location. You can get hired for deliveries with the proper Monsters here, though you will have to have a significant standing with Cholis for them to trust you with the auction wares. You can gain standing by doing quests around the city and assisting civilians with tasks. You can also gain standing by helping the King with matters of the Crown.
The Book Cellar Library
Located in the mining city of Creley, The Book Cellar Library is where all of Clekeghar's lore and history is retained. Dwarves who are learning about magic gather here to the Library to learn new elemental magic. They welcome other races inside, though elemental magic is reserved only for those who can prove they have an affinity for an element. The library does not charge a fee for entrance, but any books that one wishes to leave the building with, must be purchased outright. The cost of these books are double the price of other books in the world, but they allow for learning spells and elemental magic in half the time. There is no checking out books, only buying, and Dwarves do not take kindly to stealing.
The Ancient Knight's Forge
The Ancient Knight's Forge is nestled underground in the City of Cauleka and is the largest forge in the world that creates weapons that circulates all the Kingdoms. Dwarves that come here, even those not born in Clekeghar, are offered discounted rates for themselves and their party. Other races are not permitted to purchase any wares here, so ensure you have a dwarf in your party if you wish to buy these exceptional weapons, loaded with buffs, some magic, and strength. These weapons are quality-made and beautiful.
The Great Tombstone
The Great Tombstone is located in Choyton and is a homage to all the dwarves that have fought and died for Clekeghar's safety. Dwarves visit the Great Tombstone daily, though it is said that something important is hidden among the gravesites; if one is brave enough to explore. These paths are winding, and one can easily get lost in the mazes of tunnels leading to the Great Tombstone. Dwarves do not appreciate adventurers desecrating their scared burial grounds, so ensure you are respectful if you visit this historical site.
Hollow Willow Woods
Also located in Choyton, Hollow Willow Woods is a place Dwarves will not enter. Something lives in the forest, all sorts of creatures that exist nowhere else in the world. If one wants to adventure here, they must get permission from the City officials in order to go inside. Anyone caught inside the woods without permission, is ejected from the city and blacklisted. The woods are that dangerous.
The Shadow Isle
The Shadow Isle rests to the West of Clehlens, an ominous location that is protected by a barricade. Dwarves have not ventured around it to find out what lays beyond, but noises there discourage any adventuring. As of now, there has been no way found to allow entrance, and monsters swarm to defend whatever is behind the barricade.
