The Clockwork City

Above-ground, one would see only a massive, sprawling fortress, manned by large men in shrouded, metal faced masks and full suits of what appears to be pure silver. However, if a traveler is granted access into the upper levels of the underground portions of the fortress, then they would be granted sight of a subterranean city filled with artificial light as bright and as comforting as the sun above, so too would they see a people who live with commodities and pleasures completely unknown to the rest of the world above. Polished silver cogs, gaskets, and foreign-looking purple and blue gems of power glow and whirl along the many towering corridors of The Clockwork City.

It is also from here that the magically built and powered West Gate ushers forth to span both southward, all the way to the end of the Crumbling Coast, and all the way to the North, sealing off the West and the South of Harindash from anyone not native to the Clockwork City.

It should be noted that the Clockwork City is merely the name that outsiders have given the above-ground entrance to the mass complex of elven cities that actually exist underneath Harindash -- all of which are interconnected and stretch for hundreds of miles underground.
