Glowdwin is a wealthy mountain kingdom stretching across hundreds of miles of northern peaks, glacial valleys, and ancient subterranean roads. Its cities cling to cliffs or descend into the earth, where mines, workshops, markets, and temples share carved districts. Rugged tradesfolk dominate daily life, producing remarkable weapons, tools, machines, and magical devices. The kingdom prospers through craft and mineral wealth, yet its dependence on imported food makes every pass, caravan, and harvest strategically important.
