Population: 14,000 dwarves
Government: King Harbromm (dwarf).
City Badge: The Forge-Mark of the king,
an upright single-bladed handaxe enclosed
by a circle of flames, in red on a silver field.

Built by the dwarven king Adbar during
the waning years of ancient Delzoun (the
dwarven Northkingdom), only the tip of this
fortress shows above ground. The rest,
miles and miles of granite corridors, can
house 60,000 dwarves. Some of the finest
mithril mines (outside of Mithril Hall) are
found in Adbarrim (the proper name for the
underground citadel). The number of
dwarves who dwell here has been dwindling
slowly, as few dwarves are born to
replace those who die.

Economy: Mithril mining, metal refining,
weapon and armor smithing. Noted for
sword blades, forge bars, and ax and pick
heads.

Militia: 200 dwarves are always on duty.
Another 1,500 dwarves can take up weapons
on a moment's notice. A total of 9,000
dwarves can take the field.

Citadel Adbar (FR1)
This mighty fortress is named for the
ancient dwarven King Adbar, who built it over
a thousand years ago when the lands about
were Delzoun, the Northkingdom of the
dwarves. Quarried of granite, the Citadel can
house up to 60,000 dwarves in comfort; men
will find its defensive tunnels and hallways
too dark and too cramped. The Citadel today
holds around 14,000; the savage courage of
these dwarven warriors, under King
Harbromm, protects the mithril mines in the
mountains nearby from the endless orcs that
threaten to sweep this last hold of the
dwarves away. Citadel Adbar still produces
the finest metals (sword-blades, ?forge-bars,?
and axe-and-pick heads are the most numerous
forms in which trade leaves the Citadel) in
the North. The dwarves? output has dwindled
in recent years, however, as the number of
miners grow fewer and orc raids upon the
trade-caravans (which travel west from
Adbar to the city of Sundabar) grow fiercer.
The banner of Citadel Adbar bears the Forge-
Mark of the King in red upon a silver field: an
upright single-bladed handaxe enclosed by a
circle of flames
