Ironwood is the spiritual sister city to Highspire, home to both dwarves and earth genasi who live in harmony with the land. While Highspire focuses on progress and innovation, Ironwood is a city deeply rooted in tradition and spiritual connection to the earth.
The people of Ironwood live by a sacred practice: they listen to the subtle movements of the earth deep underground. To them, the shifting of stone and the rhythm of distant tremors are more than natural occurrences—they are messages, guiding their lives and decisions.
Lately, however, the earth’s voice has grown uneasy. Elders and earth-listeners have felt harsh, unnatural rumblings echoing from far-off lands. Many believe these tremors are the result of steam-powered drills operated by the Druecian Empire—machinery that cuts through stone without reverence. But the wisest in Ironwood insist otherwise. They claim the vibrations are not mechanical, and not from this realm—but from something much deeper and older. Something awakening.
Despite the rising unease, Ironwood is far from grim. Its people are known for their joyful spirit, especially when it comes to celebration. Festivals are frequent, and nothing brings the city together like a lively party with barrels of beer flowing freely. In Ironwood, even those who speak with the earth know how to raise a toast.
