Fortress of Dartmor

The Fortress of Dartmor is a comparatively new dwarven stronghold located at Dartmor, the primary mountain pass through the Great Range. Though it is commonly referred to as "The Dartgate", it is actually a pair of gates which act as the outer walls of the above-ground portion of Dartmor. The gates are flanked by smaller fortresses and defensive emplacements, and constitute the most well-defended above ground location outside of A'laur.

The fortress also serves as the headquarters of the Imperial Military of Thero-Vinduriam, as well as the foundry for some of the dwarves most powerful arms and armor. Among these are the keystone of the defensive works, the legendary dwarven repeating ballistae, a weapon capable of firing bolts five times faster than any other similar military engine.
