INSIDE THE SHIELD
The Thundering Heights are the ancestral mountains of the Diesel Dwarves and remain one of the loudest inhabited regions in An'kor. Entire peaks have been hollowed into mines, refineries, workshops, lifts, ventilation shafts, rail tunnels, engine halls, and settlements stacked through layers of stone.
The mountains genuinely thunder. Engines shake the rock, blasting opens new tunnels, lifts grind through shafts, and exhaust vents stain snow near the highest peaks. The surviving deposits are increasingly precious because so much old mining territory now lies beyond the shield.
