Vyapara

A town built buried beneath the Vahkis Mountains in the center of Eraname, Vyapara sits between Carl's Pass and Surajan Pass, its doors opening to both roads. Before Eraname was tamed, it was a town made for war, and good at what it did. The past centuries have been relatively boring, Vyapara mostly operating as a source for masterfully crafted weapons and armor, and a research center for siege weapons. When Eraname began fighting once more, the dwarves of Vyapara jumped at the chance to do battle, assisting the Dynasty, their ally. However, after losing many soldiers at Odeslani and even more at Mashalea, along with Vrazravas himself, Gharsati was forced to withdraw from the war. Not a single Vyaparan dwarf has been seen aboveground since.

Vyapara is structured inside a massive underground cylinder with multiple floors. In the center, a platform transports visitors and dwarves from floor to floor, floating through the use of divine glyphs. In times of siege, the platform can be controlled from afar or shut down entirely, making invasion impossible without sustained flight. The lowest level contains the temple where the majority of each festival is held, while the other levels include a bazaar, workshop, living quarters, and barracks, complete with a training arena. Due to the town's exaggerated xenophobia, even among dwarven settlements, those of other races are only allowed into the bazaar, and even then, only for short periods of time.
