| Deep Crevisha: The underground part of Crevisha lies beneath the high peaks and tough stones of Heavens Steps. This city is home to Dwarves and Gnomes alike, although no always this way, the two races have prospered together even moreso then Elves and the Humans. Dwarves forge the metal workings and weapons/ armor to trade while the gnomes handle the gems and inventions. Both help together in carving the many tunnels throughout Gernada, and in building the grand Central Chamber, the market place. The people of Deep Crevisha trade, mostly, with Four Winds, Black Wall, and Turil. This is one of the richist cities in Gernada and the rule is shared by King Roiken, inside the halls, and mayor Ger' swindle, out side the halls. Although if any decision would effect both places then an agreement is came about with the Nine High Priests and the two kings.City is sectioned into upper and lower levels, upper for the upper class and lower for tthe lower class. No one residse on the middle level, save the King himself. Description of Deep Crevesha - Spoiler:
The most prospering of the underground cities, walls perfectly chisled with marble polish, weir lights seeming float in midair every 30 feet to give light to the grand halls of the city, upon entering any of the cardinal entrances Statues counting over 20, of dwarven and gnomish kings, including (closest to the entrance) Roiken, all set in polished marble with magnificent rubies, sapphires, diamonds and gold. Each of the kings dressed in their war attire, breast plates for the defenders, extravagent robes for their wizards, and holy vestments don their clerics. Ceilings ranging from 40 to 100 feet in height in the common halls and chambers, halls being lower, a seemingly neverending maze of tunnels extending to all reaches of the continent. Each of the cities linked in some way or another, most more than one.
Following the main hall leads to a grand chamber, filled with archs and stair cases leading to upper and lower levels, the Errithal, and massive chandaler hangs from the towering ceiling, so far above the naked eye can't see its peak. The Errithal hangs from chains made from some dwarven metal, diamond rings, smaller in the center and size increasing to the outer rings, shine with crystals hanging from them suspended by silver chains. Doors embedded in archs mark the cities citizens housing, 8 levels in all, the ground floor excluded, 4 below and 4 above. The floor plans near identical, although changing at the ground level. No dwellings reside on the ground floor, its walls painted and marked with dwarven and gnomish history with elaborate colors depicting the bloody wars, times of peace, and important deeds of past kings. Maybe two hundred feet of this giant mural is untouched, leaving room for present and future history. Dwarven runes cover the floor in this giant chamber, some glowing others not, the people themselves seem to use this ground floor as a sort of market, or common meeting grounds.
Bustling with activity, dwarves and gnomes mostly but all races, save the goblinoids and evil based creatures, talkings, trading, and commencing to daily activity. The northern edge bears the only stair case of any significance, the stairs themselves seem to glow with Art, handrails of ruby finish and posts made of diamonds lead up to a giant door encrusted with magnificient jewels which opens to the kings chambers themselves.
King Roiken - Spoiler:
A very old being, even by dwarf standards. His skin full of wrinkles and scars, although deeply tanned and seemingly over oiled. Roiken bears his hair and beard in long, thick, clean braids each held by silver clasps. His belt and crown encrusted with gems of all colors, his robes of the finest silk the dwarves could find. His mighty staff-hammer, never leaving the kings hands, made from the toughest dwarven metal and elvish wood known to the world, but with a golden finish. A single gem of each make circling the hammerhead base. Dwarven runes carved among the staff all seem to glow with power from the art. Being a staff with a double sided hammer forged to its tip, most unlike any weapon ever seen before. Only one piece of jewlery hangs from the kings neck, a silver chain with the holy symbol of the dwarven war god, a hammer with 7 overlaying circles surrounding it.
Places of Intrest: - Spoiler:
The Market:
The dwarves and gnomes of Deep Crevisha have just recently (in the last 3-4 centruies) started living in harmony, together, and prospering. They trade their extremely well made weapons and armor with Black Wall, Dragon Post, and Four Winds through extensive underground tunnels. When the gnomes came about fine gems and other jewelry were thrown in the trading mix. At first the trades took place on the surface but the king wanted tunnels, lots of tunnels, and the gnomes helped here also.
The Dragons Eye:
A Jewelry shop/stand run by Teriwinkle Redbeard, an odd half dwarf/gnome, only in his first century of life. Fine cut diamonds, ruby's, sapphires, and any other gem you could imagine is sold here. Many with magical properties, others without, all imbued and cut by Teriwinkle himself.
Duggenk's Smashers:
Duggenk runs this dwarven weapon shop, specializing in- you guessed it- War Hammers (or really any type of hammer), although they make axes, swords and a variety of other weapons, although most armor sold here would do little good to any of the tall races, for that he charges extra (much extra). His gnome apprentice, Werylin, will add magical properties to the weapons at a fair price.
The Foam:
One of the most notorius taverns in the mid-level of Deep Crevisha. This pub is claimed to have the best dwarven ale in all Gernada, an probably true, but at a high price. Any one entering the tavern is stripped of weapons and given a number to identify them when the person leaves. This, almost, stops all fights from taking place in the tavern.
