The birthplace of [[Kalowei Thurdus]] - this ancient [[Dwarven]] settlement was ruled by the [[Goldenbrand]] family. It was believed to be destroyed during the fight with [[The Illiman - GM]] in the [[Ondor Mountains]], from the shaking of the mountains, the settlement entrance and main chambers caved in, and it was presumed that the entire structure had collapsed. In reality, some dwarves survived, including the [[Goldenbrand]] family. Over the years this group became increasingly isolationist, now known as the [[Golden Dwarves]].
