Hardholt

A city in the Kingdom of Thyssen, ruled by Rickard Ambrose, cousin to King Esterad of Thyssen. It is located in the high north of the Lowan Mountains, in a valley accessed only by the Skyrling Pass and Wendish Way. Hardholt was founded as a trade settlement between Northern Magnia and Corveaux and quickly became an important hub for mining in the area. Since, it has become a religious center for the Menkhu Faith with many shrines and temples to the Gods.
==Economy==
Hardholt is a large exporter of amber and beeswax, and the Gold Road, which stretches all the way to Valona through Carinthia, Vichin, and Metina, start here. It also trades in gold and silver from the region's mines, but it is heavily dependant on wood and livestock from the other earldoms of the Kingdom, which they have not been able to acquire since the outbreak of the Thyssen War of Succession.
