Azrin/Dwarf lands

Once upon a time all azrin began life within the great wall, located within the gigantic range of mountains known primarily as the great wall, it had been sculptured into a defensive perimeter keeping the forsaken at bay for centuries, within the range was the main city built by the azrin and dwarves over one and a half a millennia ago, it was called Ghrazur-Atok and was a point of singular pride for both azrin and dwarf alike, it is home and hearth for both races and housed the main temple of Aerynahl, in the lands of Alabraxus. Also spaced out evenly among the ranges were several strongholds some housed dwarves’ others housed azrin, but most held both. Both races were also responsible for diplomatic relations with the Giant Consortium, a neutral nation of giants that lived on the southern fringe of the great wall. During the End of time wars the mountain range was decimated and what was left was rubble. Some Dwarves and Azrin live in nomadic tribes in what's left of the are a sharp and flinty craglands. Som azrin retreated to Thunderspire mountains and others integrated into civilized lands stretching out from Alabraxus to the fringe terroratories.
