Well, there are some in the mountain towns & villages surrounding Ironwatch Keep, but those are mainly miners. There are pockets of hill and sundered dwarves living in a few of of the larger towns but those communities are full of farmers and fishers."</p><p></p><p>Mazz rubs his chin again. "The author of this report your referring to could have been thinking Ironsoul. It is the seat of the senate and is considered to be the capital of the Strandlands. While it's not a city, it's quite large for a town. Around 500 dwarves live there, if I'm remembering correctly. It's one of the few places where they do a census every decade." He looks at Maur. "But I don't think your dwarf would be living there unless it is Yustaren Earthguard, the senator for the City of Blackwater. She lives half of the year in Blackwater and the other half in Ironsoul. But.. she's a sundered dwarf, not a hill or high dwarf, so I doubt she has this shield or knows where it hidden.</p><p></p><p>"Helt is the smallest <em>true</em> city in the Strandlands, but there are only around fifty sundered dwarves living there. It is doubtful that the dwarf you're looking for is from there... or Belporte." He shakes his head again. "No, I'm fairly certain you need to travel to either Blackwater or Oxshore.

The city came into existence only 300 years ago after the senate had Strand Keep built on that island as a southern bastion to keep an eye on the denizens of Nesin Island. Some thought the city would break away from the Strandlands after The Transformation and ally with either Chaja or Selquin, but Thomas Stangassinger quickly reaffirmed the city's loyalty soon after that magical conjunction. He's Oxshore's senator. Yet, he <strong>rarely</strong> visits Ironsoul himself.

"No. This is very poorly drawn." He has her lay the map on the table next to him and he takes a piece of bread and places it where the island is located far beyond the edge of Aureus's map. "The island is here." Then he places a bigger piece of bread next to it. "This would be Nesin Island, and, here, this where Chaja is after it was brought to Harqual during The Transformation. It is a city-state of birdfolk. They were skittish at first, but soon made allies of Yuln.

"About here, I think. It has been a long time since I've been there. More than 150 years, give or take. It is a vital trading port between the north and the Far South." Mazz moves the grape back onto the table and places it west of another grape, 'Chaja'. "This is where Yuln is located. It's not part of the Strandlands, but there is trade between the Yulnish and these lands. Yuln is a massive city of over 45,000 souls and its population is not just human.

Yes, there are sundered dwarves living there too, but the seablooded have stronger dwarven traditions." Mazz points to the spot where the city is located on the map.
