[QUOTE="Electric Wizard, post: 6088643, member: 83982"] [B]Azurnay (24.26)[/B] The dwarves of the Burning Land have many septs, but Azurnay is the only settlement that humans would call a city. Azurnay is carved into a mesa, and exists to serve those bound for Jahur, Blind Midshotgatepool or Hyfalls. It is built over a subterranean lake, but the lake lies so far below the surface that the city relies on complex machinery to bring it to the surface. The machinery already existed, rusted and decrepit, when Azurnay's founders settled here. The dwarves managed to refurbish many of the parts and began harvesting the water.
