Raggen'Thrum

#location

Dwarven Stronghold where a large majority of the race live. They are a mighty folk and even just by living in Vel’Ruach is a boast to that testament. They utilise natural fire and a special technique involving a lack of fire to craft marvels.

The Frostforge is what Raggen’Thrum is known for. Named because of the technique they employ where no fire is used to weld things steel together.

Now the new generations have brought a worldview of Emon but still K and A exist due to the lifestyle
