                          dwarves helped build Sharn, and many of its people are stonemasons, architects, and   Northedge
                          smiths. Holdfast dwarves are proud of their Sharn roots and have little interest in M  r or cus­

                          a makeshift hrazhak court and a shrine devoted to the Wardens of the Wood. Conditions are
                          poor to modest.
