The Malachite Fortress is a dwarven stronghold that was abandoned by its makers many years ago. Located beneath Jzadirune, Kazmojen used the Malachite Fortress as the headquarters for his slaving ring. Once Kazmojen was defeated, a number of the former slaves, led by Sondor Ironfold, decided to stay in the Malachite Fortress. The fortress is now a thriving (if small) underground community, and home to a fine dwarven forge. The ring of hammers fills the air, and the busy sounds of the people of Malachite Fortress show that they have quickly got the things up and running. A small squad of dwarves, wearing new made armour have formed a city guard, closing off underdark tunnels, and keeping watch at all times for trouble.
The small community is mostly made up of Dwarves, but some humans and gnomes are also here. Overall there are about 30 members of this small town, but the Fortress could easily house more than 150, and expanding into other areas would be easy.
