The Karrnathi immigrants are concentrated in the Grindstone ward. Some families sought to escape the war. Others came when Kaius placed sanctions on the Emerald Claw and the Blood of Vol. Still others saw a challenge, believing that Karrnathi spirit could carve out success in this new world.
With the arrival of the Swords of Karrn, Grindstone has become almost a separate city within Stormreach. The people of Grindstone take pride in the order imposed by the Swords of Karrn; those who opposed the Swords found shelter in other districts.
