Ironpeak Roost

Ironpeak Roost is a vertical marvel of stonework clinging to the side of a jagged peak. Built over centuries, its houses are carved directly into the granite, connected by narrow bridges and winding stairs. Below the village lies a perpetual fog, while above, the summits remain capped in eternal snow. Life here is hard but steady, centered around the bounty of the deep mines and the resilience of those who call the heights home.

History

Founded by refugees fleeing a lowland plague, Ironpeak began as a collection of hide tents in the caves. Over generations, the settlers mastered the mountain, carving a permanent home into the rock. They survived the Great Frost of the Second Era by tapping into geothermal vents deep within the core. Today, it stands as a testament to survival, serving as a vital stop for traders braving the high altitude passes.

Founding EraThe First Hearth FireSettlers discovered the volcanic vents that provide heat to the village today.

Expansion EraThe Siege of Silent WingsThe village repelled a massive flight of harpies threatening the sky-cattle.
