Ironforge



The ruined capital of Ironforge was once the seat of immense dwarven power in its shard, but was laid low by the Godswar, now only a frozen reminder of the destruction wrought by the death of a god. 

History


The Kindgom of Ironfogre


 Little is known of Ironforge before its destruction. It was clearly once a thriving and powerful realm, its inhabitants mighty and holdings grand, filled with gold and silver mines, deep sources of adamantine, and massive magical forges to create magnificent wonders. 

The Godswar


By all appearances, the dwarves of Ironforge were caught completely unaware by the war of the divine. When the ruin was discovered by the first Thanatovian expedition, the inhabitants had been flash-frozen in the middle of their daily activities. 

Ironforge Today


Rather than let its resources go completely to waste, Rayya Krol and her team recovered several artifacts to return to Thanatovia and the dwarves therein, and requested that the Thanatovian government send a longer term survey team to recover whatever else could be of use and potentially establish a more permanent colony to make use of the many mines in the area.

Government


Monarchy


From what the Thanatovians have been able to recover, Ironforge was a monarchy, though what the process was for selecting a new king has yet to be discovered. Beyond that, the government of the once-proud dwarven kindgom remains a mystery. 

Geography
<p style="font-weight:normal;">

Political Survey
<p style="font-weight:normal;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Ironforg'e shard is dead, and thus there are no political rivals. It appears to have had to deal with frequent battle in the past, however whether against another nation, monsters, both, or something else altogether is impossible to say. <p style="font-weight:normal;">

Physical Survey
<p style="font-weight:normal;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Ironforge Glacier and the mountain it surrounds have no living resources whatsoever, however they are rich in mineral wealth, something the Thanatovians are eager to claim in the wake of the dwarves' untimely demise.

Inhabitants
<p style="font-weight:normal;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;">None remain alive within Ironforge's shard, though a Thanatovian survey and potential colony are currently in the works. <p style="font-weight:normal;">

Religion
<p style="font-weight:normal;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;">During initial exploration, the Thanatovian team discovered references to a dwarven god by the name of Moradin; aside from the name, however, details of Ironforgish religion remain unknown.
