== Hafnar == Hafnar holds the southern border of Breoa. Its positioning near the Fangelsi Mountains, with their plentiful ore reserves, allows the city to be the industrial heart of the nation. However, Hafnar routinely turns its prowess towards making the weapons of war. To the south, beyond the Blædir Pass, lies the orc city-state of Hope. This city has blocked Breoa’s southern advance into the Unclaimed Lands for centuries. Now the two cities are locked in a never-ending war where both sides have lost tens of thousands of lives. ==== Forge of Breoa ==== The Fangelsi mountains, although swarming with griffins, are filled with iron ore. Miners extract the ore from the [[Prime Ring]] and then transport it to the many smelting facilities within Hafnar. Then, one of the more than one-hundred factories within Hafnar shapes the ore into something new. Most metal items, which were not originally plundered, are created here. ==== Blood Feud ==== The blood feud with Hope started more than four-hundred years ago. After the traitorous three broke away from Breoa, armies stationed in Hafnar marched south through the pass to retake the cities. A winter storm blew through and stranded the army for a month. Once the snows had melted, the Breoan army stopped at the gates of Hope asking for supplies. Hope gave some aid but refused to let the army within its walls. At risk of starving, the Breoan Jarls pleaded with Hope to give them more food. Hope refused and when the Breoan Jarls attempted to storm the walls, Hope fought back. The Orcs repulsed the attacking Breoans but not before they stole enough food to get them back to Hafnar. Since then, both Hafnar and Hope have remembered each other’s foul deeds. The people of Hafnar will never be satisfied until Hope burns to the ground and Hope will never allow a Breoan army to march through the Blædir Pass until they receive their reparations. Currently, the leaders of Hope calculate the cost of the reparations to be thirty-two million gold pieces. This is thought to be more gold pieces than is contained within the entirety of Breoa. ==== Home of the Stone Reavers ==== The miners of Hafnar need protection from the creatures prowling the mountain sides. This is the job of the Stone Reavers. Once considered a clan but now an order of warriors, the Stone Reavers use elementrix containing earth elementals and their unique training to wield the earth as a weapon. Stone Reavers have been known to hurdle boulders bigger than a mammoth through the air. Master Stone Reavers are said to be able to create small earthquakes. No one exactly knows the Stone Reaver’s base of operation. They live within the sewers of Hafnar, using their powers to carve out homes. Whenever their base is discovered, the Reavers simply move and start anew. ==== Death from Above ==== Griffins cover the peaks of the Fangelsi Mountains. Its blustering winds and harsh slopes provide a safe nesting ground to raise their young. This is to the disliking of the locals who are routinely attacked by hungry griffins. Yet, griffins are not the biggest problem or predator on the slopes of the Fangelsi Mountains. Rocks, gargantuan eagles with some having wing spans greater than one-hundred feet, feast on anything their massive claws can carry. Stone Reavers will not engage a Rock if it decides to attack a mining operation. The only sane thing to do is hide.
