The dwarves of Highspire no longer dwell solely in the depths of the earth. Over time, they have expanded into the daylight, building towering stone halls and fortified cities above ground. Today, they continue to grow in both strength and numbers.
Highspire stands as one of the richest cities in the realm when it comes to mineral wealth. Its deep mines yield a steady stream of precious metals and rare gemstones, extracted daily by thousands of hardworking dwarves. This mineral prosperity has made Highspire a vital economic power.
Yet despite their wealth, the dwarves harbor a growing concern—the rapid expansion and technological advancement of the Druecian Empire. While the dwarves have mastered traditional craftsmanship, they fear they are falling behind in the race for innovation.
In response, Highspire’s leaders have launched a new initiative: pulling dwarves from the mines and placing them into classrooms. Their goal is to foster a new generation of engineers, scholars, and inventors who can blend dwarven ingenuity with modern advancements.
Highspire is also a symbol of coexistence. Both magic-users and non-magic-users live in harmony, as do the native dwarves and the earth genasi who call the city home. The people of Highspire believe that unity—between arcane and mundane, tradition and progress—is the key to their continued survival and growth.
