==A Guide to Forfedhdar ==
'''By Rirl Threwsvadh '''

It is my understanding that a great many Dwarves have
never set foot in Forfedhdar, beautiful Forfedhdar
which means in the Haakish tongue, "Land of the
Ancestors." This saddens me -- it pains this still
beating heart in my old Dwarven chest. Forfedhdar,
land of sloping valleys, ice-capped mountains,
pristine lakes, and rushing cavernous rivers, is the
most beautiful land in all Kermoria -- no, in all
existence, all of Kertigen's work. Kertigen crafted
Forfedhdar specifically for we Dwarves, and it is our
paradise. We must know this land like it is a part
of us... for it is. This land is aptly named, as the
Land of the Ancestors, for that name is true. The
peaks of Forfedhdar are the bones of Ancestors. The
rivers are their blood, the boulders and stones are
their smiling eyes and faces, watching after us,
their children. Our Ancestors are in this land, and
our Father Kertigen's hand is in its making, so we
must know all about it.

That is why I wrote this tome. For whatever reason,
many of my brethren have not or are unable to set
foot in beautiful Forfedhdar. With my writings of
that land, I hope to bring a bit of it to all of you.
Take note that this is not a book about the peoples
and cities of this province, but merely its geography
-- a tale woven in honor and praise of the land
itself!

==The Arid Steppe==
An arid grass-covered plain north
of the Tivshowldh Mountains and west of the Liirewsag
River. The steppe is nontillable, and though
normally of a semidesert climate, its winters tend to
be severe. The Arid Steppe has long been occupied by
a variety of nomadic and culturally-unique tribes.

==Arncharn Shel Mountains==
A range of mountains
serving as the border between Forfedhdar and
Therengia. Like the Himineldar Shel range to the
south, the Arncharn are known for producing valuable
gemstone mines. The mountains are occupied by the
Dwarven Kingdom of Kwarlog.

==Arnuthrum Island==
A small, forested island in the
center of Sawstwar Lake in central Forfedhdar. If
the Sawstwar is the heart of Forfedhdar, then truly,
Arnuthrum is the gem of that heart. The island is
considered sacred by all Dwarves... for, it is said,
that when Kertigen formed Forfedhdar for his
children, he felt the need to make a shrine for his
beloved wife as well, a place of flowing waterfall,
summertime trees, and flowery ground. It is no place
for any Dwarf to set foot, for it is the holy ground
of Hodierna.

==Biiskbowr River==
A swift-moving river made up by
huge stretches of lethal rapids. The river runs
through a canyon between the Arncharn Shel Mountains
and the Journelai Mountains. Its waters are bitter,
and filled with strange minerals, but many
Kwarlogians go out of their way to draw liquid from
it -- somehow, these Dwarves have special recipes and
processes enabling them to make a most magnificent
beer from the Biiskbowr.

==Himeneldar Shel Mountains==
A small mountain range
in eastern Forfedhdar, northwest of the Dragonspine
and south of the Arncharn Shel and Journelai ranges.

The Himineldar Shel Mountains yield some of the most
expansive mines of gems and ores. The city of
Hibarnhvidar is built upon the largest series of
mines in the range.

==Liirewsag River==
The Liirewsag River runs from
central to northern Forfedhdar, bordered on the west
by the Arid Steppe, and on the east by the Paasvadh
Forest.

==Paasvadh Forest==
A thick coniferous forest south
and west of the Arncharn Shel Mountains. To the west
of the Paasvadh is the Liirewsag River. The Paasvadh
is not a very popular place for the Dwarves, but
crossing through it is essential for travel between
Kwarlog and Hibarnhvidar. Thankfully, Gor'Tog
settlements occupy the route, making it somewhat less
dreary.

==Sawstwar Lake==
A small lake in central Forfedhdar
fed by and feeding the Liirewsag, Segoltha, and
Biiskbowr Rivers. Arnuthrum Island is in the center
of the lake. The Sawstwar, right in the middle of
Forfedhdar, is the heart of the entire province. Its

off-season grassy slopes provide one of the few
places in the province to graze livestock, and its
crystal clear waters, pristine blue like the bluest
hue of a sapphire, are the stock of every truly fine
Dwarven brew!

==Tivshowldh Mountains==
A crescent-shaped range of
mountains southwest of Sawstwar Lake and south of the
Arid Steppe. To its east is the Himineldar Shel
range. The Tivshowldh has long been considered
cursed, perhaps due to being barren of gem and ore
mines or rock quarries. Innumerable lives have,
however, been lost in the mountain range's salt
mines.
