“A Guide to the Empire of the Dwarfs and the Hold of Karak Norn”

Many of the Dwarfs’ ancient holds have been pillaged by Orcs and Goblins or infested by the foul Skaven. Those that endure are scattered throughout the mountainsides bordering the Old World and stretching into lands beyond. Several outposts are dug into the Grey Mountains. Chief among them is Karak Norn, famed for its cannon foundries, cunning merchants, lively taverns, and redoubtable elite garrison, the Peak Guard. Mighty as the remaining holds are, enemies continue to assault them. Adventurers may find opportunity here, the rewards for those who help defend what remains of the Dwarf realm may be rich, but they pale in comparison to the loot that lies amongst its ruins.
