Forgotten Realms [Faerun

Settlestone, a wind-battered village clinging to the southern slopes of Fourthpeak within the Spine of the World, presents a stark tableau of rugged survival. Formerly the dwarven stronghold of Dwarvendarrow, now known as The Ruin, it bears the scars of a fierce battle against drow, goblins, and kobolds, a conflict that ultimately led to its resettlement by hardy barbarians from Icewind Dale. The village, perpetually chilled by mountain winds, is dominated by the imposing presence of Mithral Hall, a dwarven fortress carved deep within Fourthpeak. Here, the Tribe of the Elk gathers within Hengorot, a vast mead hall capable of sheltering over 800 souls, its robust timber walls a stark contrast to the surrounding stone and snow. The remnants of dwarven architecture blend uneasily with the rough-hewn structures of the barbarians, creating a place of both ancient grandeur and raw, frontier resilience.
