Rac’var

Racv'ar Outer WallsRacv'ar City

### **Description:**

Nearing the center of Racraag, you’ll be met with quite the sight. A massive stone wall blocking off a canyon that is filled with torn and blowing red flags. The retrofitted fortress of Rac’Var. Dwarven in origin, and originally nothing but a dusty ruin, it took generations of people to restore it into the city it is now. A city with plumes of black smoke rising from every chimney, and the waste waters flowing with ash from forges. A busy place, with people always moving from one place to another, but friendly to everyone and all. Expect open arms and soot-staining handshakes from people who were once considered criminals and cons.

### **Areas of Note:**

**- The Wall**: A massive barrier created at the main entrance to Rac’Var, useful for keeping most the nasties out of Rac’Var as well as providing a landmark to lead towards it. The ‘Protect’ Order use this area as their main headquarters, though many can be seen patrolling the rest of Rac’Var. Without this wall, and the fortress of Rac’Var’s immovable and easily defendable design, Rac’Var would never have survived. Now it’s up to The ‘Protect’ Order to keep them all alive, as The Wall is almost always under constant threat.

**- The Commons**: The main portion of the city, located front and center. One of the quieter places within the city as most people who come here are either headed home or are relaxing from work. Storefronts, residencies, and communal feast halls are located here.

**- The Growhouses**: Located a little ways away from most of the fortress, The Growhouses were created to try and keep a steady supply of food for the ever growing population. Though not all entirely buildings or houses, there are cave-like areas sectioned out for housing and growing whatever can grow in these wastes. The ‘Grow’ Order do their best to experiment with different kinds of food growth and application.

**- The Forges**: Tucked into the side of the mountain, these workhalls are one of the parts of the old dwarven fortress that remain mostly untouched. Never needing to be repaired, as they were built to last the decades that came. Now they fulfill their purpose as The ‘Build’ Order’s main workshops and staging areas for work. The busiest place in all of Rac’Var, the flames of these forges never go unattended, and the sound of metal on steel can be heard echoing through at all times of day.

### **Important Groups:**

**- The Racraag Covert**

**- The ‘Build’ Order**: The largest of the 3 Orders within Rac’Var, this group focuses on the building and maintenance of any and all equipment and structures within the fortress. From the walls of buildings, to the tools made from the forges, to the weapons wielded by the guard. Masonry, to blacksmithing, to woodcarving. Anything that involves creating or maintaining is done here.

**- The ‘Grow’ Order**: This group within Rac’Var focuses primarily on food production and growth. The smallest out of all the orders, but definitely the most important, the reason for it’s small size is simply the lack of experience.

**- The ‘Protect’ Order**: The local authority within Rav’Var, The ‘Protect’ Order does everything the other 2 orders can’t. Whether that be physically protecting the people from Rovgaz threats, or simply walking the city to make people feel safer.
