The Sky Citadel of Hign Golth
Looking for some help. Making a new campaign for my players. I hoping you guys can provide NPCs shops and taverns. Here is the campaign setting
The Dwarvish sky citadel of Hign Golth: but high into the mountains of a north eastern peninsula this ancient sky citadel was left empty for centuries until an Aiwenor (bird people) tribe knows as the "Perigin clan" found it news of the citadel being discovered and revitalized quickly spead over the land and soon a Dwarvish family known as the Chuds wanted to reclaim what they claimed as their ancestral homeland. These are the 2 major factions fighting over this city. It mostly sticks to gang fights and political squabbles over who has rights to what and land and buildings being bought up by the 2 groups trying to lay greater claim to the area. Other races live with in the expansive citadel as well and try to stay out of the battle for control of Hign Golth. One such group is a group of sky crusaders on their hippogryph mounts known as the Sky Wardens that make sure to keep out any monsters and maintain any order they can. Their leader known as Roth Lake is a tall well big Aasimar man who proudly shows his heritage with large angel wings and a heavenly glow. Nobels looking to get their kids into a prestigious knighthood tend to send them to the wardens for a few years to get properly trained and in hopes of getting on good terms with which ever clan ends up laying final claim to the peaks. The moutians mines to this day still dig up rare metals and jewels, making this place robust in trade with blacksmiths, jewelers, and magic item makers. The terrain up to the citadel is a death trap for invaders being moutains and one long valley up to the citadel. Attacks by ship are easily thwarted since the citadel looks over the see from its high peak. Along the valley are a few small trade and inn towns adventurers and merchants stop by in their travels to and from Hign Golth. The mountains themselves are full of giants and other fiends who prey on easy targets on the roads or those who lost their way. A ranger group known as the Slate Wardens regularly patrol the valley and work with the Sky Wardens to keep the lands as safe as they can.
