Gemhallow

Type
Settlement


A mighty Rocklit dwarf city entirely enclosed within the skylith Pembroke, Gemhallow is a major shipping hub for all of Skyway because of its favorable location and also Pembroke's mining output.  The city's position in the inward-facing portion of Pembroke means day and night are reversed relative to surface settlements, because the city’s main light source is reflective tunnels from below which provide light via veins of quartz and other translucent stone that end in large slabs of the same, set into the streets and sidewalks of the city.

Population:
roughly 90,000
Demographics:
55% Rocklit dwarves, 30% sagani, 15% cosmopolitan mix, with Dvergar in the outskirts
Government:
monarchy, the Otilia dynasty (Rocklit dwarf, with occasional Rock sagani)
Industry:
shipping hub, mining exports
Tourist attractions:
the crystal-lit caves, main cavern which encompasses most of the city and docks
Hazards:
Dvergar occasionally sabotage the light tunnels, or other mining; other beings interior to a skylith
Associations:
Council of Antiquaries, Freelancers Tavern, Mining Consortium, University of Magery
