a large flattened out area on near the top of a mountain, a small wooden palisade had been erect within which a bunch of wooden buildings had been set up, there were rent-able market stalls as well as a few taverns, inns and stables. Many humans and some half elfs and halfings milled about, but there were plenty of dwarves as well... all this could be seen through the opened gates, in the background two huge brass doors stood open, that led into the mountain proper and the real dwarven settlement, this outdoor area mainly being used for non-dwarves to come and trade with the Silverfist clan.
