Blackstone

The Land of Black­stone

Black­stone is a rich, rocky land divid­ed into six major regions, each with its own cul­ture, peo­ple, and lead­er­ship.

Donk

A mas­sive under­ground prison where the realm’s most dan­ger­ous crim­i­nals are kept. This heav­i­ly guard­ed area is ruled by the Moun­tain Dwarves, who are known for their firm hand and strict dis­ci­pline.

Bright­stone

Home of the Duer­gar, also called Gray Dwarfs. They usu­al­ly live in seclu­sion, deep with­in caves, far away from the sun. Bright­stone is mys­te­ri­ous and silent. Many say you do not sim­ply enter… or leave.

Kurk

A small vil­lage from which most of the Mark of Ward­ing Dwarfs come. The area is also famous for its fine beer and rum.

Tim­ber

A region full of vast forests, known for its enor­mous trees. Tim­ber forms the bor­der between nature and civ­i­liza­tion, and is renowned for its wood­craft, lum­ber­jacks, and mys­te­ri­ous for­est mag­ic.

Duskwall

The sec­ond-largest city of Black­stone and the kingdom’s main port. Ships from dis­tant lands arrive here, mak­ing trade with the out­side world pos­si­ble. Duskwall is live­ly, cos­mopoli­tan, and at times dan­ger­ous.

Gold­stone

The cap­i­tal of Black­stone and the polit­i­cal heart of the realm. Hill Dwarfs live here in large num­bers, and at its cen­tre stands the roy­al palace of the Black­stone fam­i­ly, rulers of the land.
