Grindstone

District

Grindstone is the heart of the Karrnathi influence over Southwatch. Festivals and holidays from the homeland are celebrated here with exuberance, and the district’s Karrnathi residents regard themselves as separate from the city’s other citizens. The militia known as the Swords of Karrn enforces order, and between Karrnathi pride and what amounts to martial law, Grindstone is essentially a city within the city.

Karrnathi Presence

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.
