| - | This is the last surviving dwarven stronghold on Miranda that is still occupied by [[creatures:dwarf|dwarves]]. All of the other great strongholds were destroyed during the [[lore:Brother's War]] or occupied by fell creatures far too dangerous to drive out. Thus, Stoneheart Hold is the center of all of the power of the dwarves that still remain on Miranda. | + | This is the last surviving [[lore:dwarven hold#stronghold]] on Miranda that is still occupied by [[creatures:dwarf|dwarves]].

| The hold is in the [[Iron Mountains]] and built around and into the appropriately the [[Gate of the Gods]]. The walls that stretch between the mountains at their base are over 30 feet thick and crafted with all of the cunning of the greatest [[wp>Stonemasonry|masons]] in the world. The hold completely blocks passage through [[Stoneheart Mountains#Axe Pass]], which is the only pass that offers safe passage through the mountains most of the year. | The hold is in the [[Iron Mountains]] and built around and into the appropriately the [[Gate of the Gods]].

| - | Although Irill and Stoneheart don’t actually touch borders, they have extensive trading agreements. In fact, most of the largest trading holds are located in Irill or the Free States. After the fall of the Second Irillian Empire both of these lands were interested in dwarven gold and steel, while Stoneheart wished to extend their influence farther south. Their holds, combined with the Turanian Trade Pact, turned Irill from a burned-out shell to the trading capital of the Realms. | + | Although Irill and Stoneheart don’t actually touch borders, they have extensive trading agreements.

| This perceived relationship gives Stoneheart a great deal of influence in Irillian affairs. While Irill has begun to flex their own independence, Stoneheart still has a great number of contacts and Senators that seek their opinion on matters of national importance. Stoneheart has become so good at human politics that none suspect how much control they have over Irill. | This perceived relationship gives Stoneheart a great deal of influence in Irillian affairs.
