Uttersea, the volcanic capital of Tuern, nestles within the bowl of a titanic, sunken caldera—a natural fortress of blackened basalt and warm rock that shelters it from the worst fury of the Trackless Sea. Beneath the command of High King Threlked Ironfist, this dwarven stronghold thrives on the bounties of the deep and the treasures of the stone. Massive whaling vessels dock beside fishing boats in the broad harbor, while smoke-belching forges and gem-processing workshops ring with constant labor. The mines yield diamonds and adamantite, enriching the city and drawing ambitious traders to its guarded gates. Yet this prosperity comes at a price. To the southeast lies the Flame Fault, a scorched expanse of volcanic fissures and molten chasms where fire giants march and red dragons soar—an ever-present threat looming over daily life. Uttersea stands defiant, its people hardened by heat, toil, and the knowledge that ruin lies just beyond the ridge.

Uttersea spreads in tiered rings across the blackened inner wall of a vast caldera, with smoke rising from stone forges and gemworks. The harbor glows with lantern-light, ringed by basalt cliffs and heated vents. Fiery glows flicker in the distant horizon where the Flame Fault churns, casting red-orange light against the stone like a warning.
