Better Description for locations

Location Name: Ironforge

Description: Ironforge is a city revealed after a large avalanche on Hakobe Mountain, revealing the two large Iron Gates that lock everything out and locks everything in, the gates were recently opened after an avalanche on Mt. Hakobe battered them into submission and eventually exposed the city. Past the gate is a giant lift that takes approximately an hour to ride all of the way to the bottom. Explorers rode this lift to the very bottom and were not greeted warmly by the residents, pale skinned from the lack of sunlight but upon explaining the situation negotiations between the rulers of Ironforge and that of Fiore have gone underway to accept Ironforge into the nation of Fiore.

The city is generally built out of Iron as wood is very scarce underground, despite their technological advances. Anything that can be made out of Iron, is. Most floors are made out of Iron, even tables and bed frames. Aristocracy have been known to involve wood into the construction of their homes due to its high value, which is seen as wasteful by the lower classes.

A tram also runs throughout the city, just on the outskirts of each quarter. It is extremely quick and moves from section to section within mere minutes. It goes everywhere but the Forlorn Cavern and the Great Forge.

Residents of the city tend to be distant and cold to outsiders out of distrust and fear, only having been locked inside of the gigantic city their entire lives. They are all fair skinned due to the lack of sunlight from living so deep underground. People from Fiore will generally have a hard time getting along with the residents of Ironforge, but only time will be able to relieve the tension between the two peoples and as Ironforge slowly sinks in as a part of Fiore, that aside, the people of Ironforge live lives of luxury, Ironforge is a technological giant, surpassing even the greatest engineers that exist in Fiore itself. They have cultivated technology that extracts the water deep in the ground and then breaks it down into oxygen and hydrogen to allow the citizens to breathe. They have created artificial environments in which their farms reside so crops and animals can grow and eventually feed the population. Finally, they have managed to use magma currents below them to not only heat the city, but generate much needed electricity as well.
Despite their advances in the realm of technology, most of their knowledge is kept hidden. A great library was established in the city to document all of the knowledge it held, however since the arrival of the explorers, most of it is heavily guarded and only true citizens of Ironforge can enter. Despite their diligence, not even the most trusted members of the magic council have been able to get in...

Other than its engineering prowess, the city has a knack for magic as well. Though only five percent of the population can cast a spell, these mages have massive magic potential. Ironforge is renowned for the amount of Metal and Earth mages it contains, and people rarely stray from this magic type, however, gravity, magnetism and magma magic are not unheard of in the city. These mages take up t heir arms in the wisdom quarter, which in fact is more or less ten percent of the city. Magic instructors and fledgling mages generally stay here, honing their powers and trying to reach the highest honour, the great forge. Mages who have proven themselves to the king himself are granted special access into the forge.

The forge is an area of complete zen and is located in the direct centre of the city. A giant and enchanted forge lies in the centre of this chamber and is capable of crafting extremely powerful equipment, though only those with specific honours can use it. It is an area that contains a large amount of magical power and would be almost overwhelming to your standard mage, which is why it is cut off to the general populace. Though the extra magical power isn’t going to advance training any faster than normal, the best of the best reside here and to train with them is a privilege of the highest standing in all of Ironforge. Also, the king and his family have their chambers in the great forge and are the guardians of the Great Vault. It is a seal made out of the finest spells and enchanted iron. No spell thus far has been successful in damaging the vault, and one can only speculate what’s inside. Only the king has the spell to open the vault, but should anybody get in, the results could be disastrous.

Aside from the serious stuff, taking up another quarter of the city is the Leisure Quarter, this is where the people of Ironforge live, rest and play. Also, it contains multiple shopping centres and the like, everything your average citizen needs is here. A small portion of the eastern section is primarily for Aristocrats, containing high class lodging and homes.

Taking up another quarter of the city is the military quarter, which contains all war equipment and lodges all soldiers and as of joining Fiore, all knights of Fiore under official duty. It is also where new technology is developed, so most engineers of Ironforge live here also, working day and night on their new contraptions. Finally, it holds the stockades, where criminals are locked up.

In between the mystic quarter and the military quarter is the very large Forlorn Cavern, here, a large supply of water is brought up through the earth below, as well as magma. These pipes go on for miles, and miles and it is a marvel as to how they were even taken that far. The cavern even holds farms and leads down into the undercity, a giant land, half occupied by farmland, the other occupied by mines and such. These mines spiral down even deeper, holding dark secrets of corruption which would put the higher ups to shame.

The reason as to why the city is sealed is a mystery, even to the residents, but it is a question that will one day be answered, probably.
