Notable Figures & Legends
- High Geomancer Varrik the Unshaken, who sealed the Rift of Ruin by channeling the combined geomantic energy of three city-states through his body — an act that petrified his left arm but saved the eastern tunnel network from collapse.
- Forge-Master Keldor, creator of the first Crystal-Core Golem; his techniques remain the foundation of all Dwarven construct-craft.
- Stone-Scribe Maella the Rememberer, who established the archives of the Echoing Halls and devised the resonance-indexing system that allowed glyphs to be retrieved by humming the correct frequency — a method still used by Frostborn librarians.
- General Thrain Iron-Root, commander of the Stone Guard during the Draconic Siege of the Eastern Veins, whose defensive stratagem of collapsing and re-shaping tunnel sections behind advancing enemies became doctrine for all subsequent subterranean warfare.
