Gulruhm

Gulruhm (Or as it's known colloquially, the Undercity) is a central part of the Dwarven kingdoms. The city functions as the main military arm of the kingdom and as a result is primarily focused on the importing of goods to benefit the military and help in their fight against the Troll empire. While there is not outright war between the Trolls and Dwarves yet, skirmishes are common, and both sides frequently send small groups, usually of mercenaries, to test the strength of the other side.

Currently, there are tensions in the city, as the two primary churches are in the midst of an escalating disagreement due to the execution of a prisoner. What makes this unusual is that the churches involved are dedicated to Torag and Sarenrae respectively, not a good and evil church as would initially be expected.

Commander Grant maintains the functionality of the Troll Slayers from within this city.

The church of Torag has been experimenting with ancient Sphinx knowledge in order to produce more powerful fighters, the first of whom is Heru, the first Living Monolith of Torag. This project is being spearheaded by Torvald, head paladin of the order. The current leader of the church is Anvar Millstone.

The church of Sarenrae has been pushing Commander Grant to reduce the amount of skirmishes, wishing to instead find a peaceful resolution to the conflict with the Trolls. This has put them at odds with the majority of the city, who see the Troll empire as pure evil that needs to be eradicated. Their head paladin, Roghelm, has been taking a lot of political flak for his endorsement of this idea. The current leader of the church is Sol Gemgleam.
