Snowpeak is both the name of the tallest mountain in the Snowfell Mountains, and the name of the dwarven capital city. The dwarves settled Snowpeak long before any other permanent settlements on Ilisara were formed.
Snowpeak is a wondrous, beautiful place, said to have “great seams of gold running like rivers through the stone”. Its halls and tunnels stretch up, down, and side-to-side. Massive caverns form different sections of the city. Elaborate chambers tunneled out over generations serve as homes for the dwarves who live underground.
Defenses
The dwarves are well known for their defensive, isolationist nature. The mountain is entirely self-sealing. If the dwarves wished, they could close the gate to their kingdom and it would take a monumental effort to carve into the mountain to get at them.
Inside the mountain, they have large amounts of housing reserved for times of crisis, and food stores. Their military government has arranged that all disastrous contingencies are planned for.
Ruling Powers
Tristia Renbran is the Queen Regnant of Snowpeak as of year 700. She oversees the dwarven military, which in turn rules Snowpeak. In politics, she is a temporary ruler until she retires or another general in the dwarven military gains more influence. Each branch of the dwarven military controls their own district inside Snowpeak, but they all follow the command of the high general, which in this case is the Queen Regnant.
