Nestled high in the majestic White Peak Mountains, the dwarven city of Thunderkeep stands as a testament to dwarven resilience and craftsmanship. Carved deep within the rugged cliffs, Thunderkeep is a formidable stronghold that commands awe and respect.
Thunderkeep is set apart from other dwarven cities by their unique affinity for lightning magic. Embedded within the heart of the city is an ancient crystal known as the Stormheart. It crackles with arcane energy and is said to channel the power of thunderstorms. The dwarves of Thunderkeep have harnessed this natural energy and integrated it into their daily lives. They use it to power their forges, illuminate their underground tunnels, and even create lightning-infused weapons.
Visitors to Thunderkeep are struck by the sight of lightning crackling through the city’s streets, casting an otherworldly glow upon the dwarven architecture. The dwarves of Thunderkeep take great pride in their magical heritage, and the lightning that courses through their halls is seen as a symbol of their indomitable spirit and unyielding determination.
Government¶
The city is governed by a council of elders known as the Stone Council, chosen for their wisdom and experience. Their decisions are guided by a deep reverence for tradition and a strong sense of communal responsibility. Under their wise leadership, Thunderkeep thrives as a prosperous and tightly-knit community.

Economy¶
Thunderkeep’s economy is primarily centered around mining rare gems and precious metals deep in the mountain. They are renowned for their mastery of metalwork, producing exquisite and intricate jewelry. Their goods are highly sought after throughout the region. However, due to their seclusion and the tresearous path required to get there, few merchants travel to them, so they rely upon a robust trading class of merchants to sell their goods far and wide.
