Chosen for the natural shelter provided by the mountain wall, Northshire is the residential section for the lower classes of Yetzinbrug. Though hardly wealthy by any stretch of the imagination Northshire for the most part is a rather clean and safe place to be.

The outlet of the large river that runs through the Yetzin Valley. It is the site of the pastering grounds for the farmers, which leads to the waterfall complex.

Following the battle for Yetzin and the quest for the crystal of fire, the influence of the tainted lands diminished. Where once it was a creeping cancer, now it is but a cursed place where no one dares enter. It is the abode of beastmen, mutants and worse.

The Yetzin Valley is almost entirely covered by a large forest, which is cut in two by a long river that flows from the waterfall complex. The only unforested areas are around the edges of the valley and around the town of Yetzinburg.

Once known as Kadr Helding, a shrine to the ancestor gods. It fell long ago to the Bloodaxe Alliance, who abandoned it after taking it. It lay empty for centuries, with each no occupant leaving it in short order. Recently a tribe of ogres has taken up residence, and from the looks of it they are here to stay.

The greatest library within a hundred miles, Eyrie is a secluded monestary located high in the mountains. Easily defendable and hard to spot, it has never come under attack before. Scholars from the Empire visit it occassinaly, but for the most part the monks of Verena keep to themselves.

This road has been carved out by the dwarfs so skillfully that a caravan can go through the mountains with relative ease. The problem though is that it makes a great path for invaders as well. This road leads to Wisenland.

This fortified quarry is the home of the Proudstone Clan. While officially part of Kazad Dawr, they have their own standing army and pretty much take care of themselves. During both of Kazad Dawr's sieges they were left to defend themselves, and in both cases they held out.

This mountains pass was once dangerous in the extreme. The dwarfs have turned it into a safe path, though should one fall off of it there is a several hundred foot drop to the Yetzin Valley below. This pass leads down to the Yetzin Valley and from there one can travel to the Border Princes.

Made to seperate the "manling section" from the proper dwarven homes, this gate is nearly always shut. It is a rare occurence than any non-dwarf is allowed past it.

An inn made to house foriengers. It is made for humans, though it still looks like it was made by dwarfs. It is run by a rather old and grumpy dwarf by the name of Oleg Stoutstomper.

Having fallen on hard times, the embassy is all but deserted. It was paid for a century ago by the count of Wisenland, but when he died his son failed to pay for it's upkeep. It is the home of an aging ambassador who mostly keeps to himself and a small sigmarite mission, whose new mission is to convernt the people of Yetzinburg.

Clan Blackhammer got its name from its revered ancestor Hudrik Blackhammer. The clan origionally lived within Karak Eight Peaks and went by the name Stonehammer, when the time of troubles came Hudrik was a smith, but also a veteran of the war of vengeance. When the Skaven attacked he defended the clan forges; his hammer was stained black with the blood of the Skaven he killed. Taking up his hammer he joined the defence and while he lived he was the bane of the Skaven. He was last seen leading a counterattack agaisnt a Skaven army; the attack was overwhelmed and he went down fighting. When the hold was abandoned the few surviviors stumbled out. An oath of vengeance was taken by the survivors to make the Skaven pay for their atrocities; to note this their clan name was then changed to Blackhammer.

Clan Starforger is a clan that spsecializes in the making of jewlery and the cutting of gems. It was origionally located within the halls of Karak Izril (now known as Karak Azgal); there they made their wealth and earned the respect of their kin. When the city of jewels fell the remaining clansmen scattered. Their clan elder was instrumental in the making of Kazad Dawr, as he sent out word for his clan to reunite. Most of the clan has come together in Kazad Dawr; though a few have returned to Karak Azgal.

Grimnar is the god of war, and the god of the slayers. All who take the slayer oath come here.

The temple of Griminar stands as a reminder of dwarven will power and the lengths that a true dwarf should do too when a grudge must be avenged. As such it is dominated by the tale of Griminr's travel to the chaos wastes. The walls are carved with reliefs depciting the deeds of Griminir on his journey, as told by the returning Morgrim. At the back of the temple is a great arch that leads no where. Everything seems to come towards it. It is there that the high priest gives his sermons. The arch represents Griminir's decent into the chaos wastes. The arch has no decoration, but it is jet black, as is the wall behind it. It is a solumn site to any who has spent the time reading of his journey.
