Rusthome, formerly known as Ironhome, is a sprawling dwarven city located on a southern side of the Bador mountains. The city has been the primary source of iron for most of Terram, supplying the continent with this precious metal for over 600 years. The dwarves of Rusthome are known for their expertise in metallurgy and mining, and their mastery of these skills is evident in the city's architecture and infrastructure.
Rusthome is built into the mountain, and the red-brown color of the iron ore gives the city its distinctive appearance. The city is encased in bronze, brass, and iron, and its outer walls are fortified with massive gates and guard towers. The interior of Rusthome is a maze of tunnels and caverns, with the sound of hammers ringing out as dwarves work tirelessly to extract the precious ore from the mountain's depths.
The city's economy is largely based on mining and metallurgy, with countless forges and foundries producing everything from weapons and armor to tools and household items. The dwarves of Rusthome are highly skilled craftsmen, and their work is highly sought after throughout Terram. The city is also home to a grand temple of Moradin, the dwarven god of creation and patron of artisans and miners.
Despite its wealth and prosperity, Rusthome has faced its share of challenges over the years. The city has been attacked by raiding parties of orcs and other monsters, and the dwarves have had to fight fiercely to defend their home. In recent years, the city has also faced economic challenges due to the declining quality of the iron ore in its mines. Despite these challenges, the dwarves of Rusthome remain proud and fiercely protective of their city, and they continue to work tirelessly to maintain its reputation as the finest source of iron in all of
