Alberich

Alberich is the former capital of the Gredoran dwarves, located under the Giant's Wall. It contains several great forges, which worked non-stop in the aftermath of the Ancient War, making weapons to service to sell to everyone who wanted them. The city has been the site of a civil war, ending with the death of Magnus Stonesinger. The events of this action lead to a demonic assault on the city from the depths. After locking a sizeable force of dwarves in the newly found tunnels, the populace turned against King Gunderson, the leader at the time. He and his family were killed by his royal guard. The newly crowned dwarf king, Nuranmor, swore to destroy the demons and recover the trapped dwarves in a war known as the deep crusade. The last that was heard of the dwarves that went on the crusade was that they found a city belonging to a race of elves deep underground.
