Dwarfen Holds ~ Karak Hirn

“Though grudges have been settled, the past has not been forgotten. There was a time when Karaz Ankor disowned its children in the Black Mountains, and from these orphans Karak Hirn grew. We have not forgotten our past, it is a lesson that we must learn to be self-reliant and count on no one. Through our traditions we grow stronger.”

~ Oghren Alriksson, Son of King Alrik Ranulfsson of Karak Hirn

Karak Hirn, or the Horn Hold as it is more commonly known, is the largest and richest hold in the Black Mountains, and acts as a de facto capital of the Black Mountain Holds. Geographically situated along a key pass between the Empire and the southern realms, Karak Hirn benefits heavily from trade. Its legacy built heavily upon the past, Karak Hirn clings to its traditions more than any other hold.
