Editing Kovorov (section)

== Khaningrad ==

==== Khanin Volcano ====
The activity of the Khanin volcano is a wonder to behold. Five to six times a year, it erupts, sending magma down its sides. Many in Kovorov consider it a blessing despite this danger. The geothermal heat the volcano produces is enough to warm the lands around Khaningrad. With the help of the Khanin volcano, farmers are able to yield full harvests.

Some members of the Oric Divisky are suspicious. They do not understand why the volcano erupts like it does. Many believe there is something building within the volcano. However, the other Orics stop their investigations. The volcano is too important to Khaningrad and Kovorov. It is better to leave it alone than risk losing the heat.

==== Mountain Streams ====
From the mountains come the water. Streams pool at the mountain’s base, giving life to Khaningrad and its fields. Those who have tasted their water say it is the freshest they have ever tasted. It is also said that the streams have healing properties for Aether Souls.

==== Central Hub of Kovorov ====
Located in the center of the nation, Khaningrad is the axle of Kovorov. Travelers moving anywhere in the nation tend to pass through Khaningrad. Combined with Khaningrad being the city that feeds Kovorov, this makes the town vital to the nation.

“Even if dragons came from the North, Breoans from the East, Zell from the South, and every devil in Hell from the West, as long as we still have Khaningrad, Kovorov still stands” - Czar Nicolai Fekkato to his Generals during the rise of Sarkany, the Living Winter.

Khaningrad’s status as the central hub of Kovorov is further cemented by its massive gnomish tunnel system below. More than six gnomish families are based out of Khaningrad. Its tunnels run almost to the Glass sea.

Over the centuries, due to the already abundant tunnel systems and geothermal heat reserves, the city below Khaningrad grew. Now, the tunnel city below is at least twice the size of the above ground city according to Divisky scholars.

==== Melting Pot ====
In recent decades, many around Kovorov have packed their ancestral homes and moved to Khaningrad. For the last two decades, it has been the fastest growing city in Kovorov. Cultures from many different cities and places have begun to clash. A new Khaningrad is forming. What it will stand for is yet to be seen.

==== Skyn Monastery ====
Within the last decade, the dwarves have built a new monastery in the undercity, below Khaningrad. Its name is the Skyn monastery. Translated, Skyn means anti-sky or below the sky.

Under the authority of Elder Fram Worldeye, the Skyn monastery has already begun making a name for itself. They have become adept at predicting eruptions from Khanin and their efforts to help the farmers of Khaningrad have increased crop yields by more than ten percent. Skyn monastery’s prestige is growing fast. It is known throughout Khaningrad that dwarves are ambitious and want to make a name for their new home.

==== Kovorov’s Bread Basket ====
More than seventy percent of the grown food in Kovorov comes from Khaningrad. It's flourishing is the flourishing of all Kovorov. Without Khaningrad’s agricultural production, Kovorov’s vast wealth would almost entirely be diverted to feeding its people.

The local Boyar Mag Tarasova, the Czar, and even Vorov all deeply care about Khaningrad’s yearly food production. Happens in fields are closely monitored. Adventurers are paid well to deal with any wayward creature that creeps into the region. Without the yearly grain tithe, all know that Kovorov would come to a halt.

“What? They messed with our grain!? Fuck’em!” - Boyar Mag Tarasova after hearing the pleas for mercy by three bandits who stole nine bags of grain.
