The Burning City of Acera
Deep underneath the frozen peaks of the Everfrost Mountains lies the city of Acera, built by ancient Dwarven craftsmen with skill beyond doubt. The entire giant cave that the city is built in was cut out from the innards of the mountains by their hands, taking into account the shape and form, placement, strength, size and mass of the minerals and stone and tunnels already in place prior, thus creating an incredulous cavity that would never collapse on itself, unless the mountains above it were to crumble. Even still, giant strong spiraling towers of stone were erected, rising up to the top of the cave, supposedly supporting it as well.
With their stone mindset, Acera’s layout was made by the Dwarves to perfectly serve their needs of warding off an invasion force. The buildings are all strong and sturdy as well, and many also are connected to an underground tunnel system. Using a similar system, from a nearby volcano, the Dwarves have carved a long and precise series of tunnels so that Acera is lit up by flowing rivers of lava. The lava is also used as a method of heating for the public eating houses to cook the food and for the public bathing houses to heat up the water.
The richer clans that live in the city can afford their own connection to the lava flows for their bathrooms and kitchens. Dragon imagery is common in Dwarven houses, as the creatures are revered, feared, respected, and somewhat hated still by the race. In the past they had organized several large-scale dragon hunts, the results of which are not uncommon to be seen in the houses of Dwarven nobles.
