Mount Andrus is a semi-active volcano that has only erupted ash and steam throughout recorded history. Rumors of an evil power residing in the volcano itself cause worshipers of Talos to flock to the area.[1]
[edit] Inhabitants
The Ironfang dwarves: Known for the high-quality gems and gold that they mine from the Alaoreum. They have grown distrustful of the humans to their south, especially since the bitter Campaign of Darkness that ended with the dwarves battling their dark brothers for 50 years. That war is still far from over. Skirmishes between the two races are still common, and Ironfang Keep is always on guard against a surprise attack from the duergar. King Anthrus Strongarms has ruled the Ironfang dwarves for more than 50 years. He is a veteran of the Campaign of Darkness, and that bitter battle has made him much more distrustful of the duergar than of the humans.[1]
