The second in the Zobeck Gazetteer series takes us up into the heights of the Ironcrag Mountains, where dwarves master rune magic, forge powerful new magic, and keep dark secrets in somewhat Masonic secret societies.

TOUGHER THAN MOUNTAINS

More than taciturn miners and miserly smiths, the dwarves of Zobeck have a richly varied culture that includes slavers, secretive fraternal orders, and magical blades containing the souls of the dead.

The Dwarves of the Ironcrags Gazetteer describes all these aspects of Zobeck dwarven culture and more:
• Descriptions of all the dwarven cantons, including those that were lost
• An examination of dwarven society, from bride-prices to the dwarven view of slavery
• The Most Honorable and Righteous Fraternal Order of Illuminated Brothers, a secretive fraternal order, complete with prestige classes
• The Kariv, a downtrodden group of wandering nomads often welcome among the dwarves
• Dwarven magic, including new spells and magic items of dwarven and derro creation
• A bestiary containing nine new monsters and templates.
• Full heraldry and a regional map of the Cantons

This introduction to the Free City of Zobeck showcases its clockwork magic, its gearforged PC race, and many highlights of the city, such as the Kobold Ghetto. Includes a beautiful city map and other distinctive elements of the setting.— Clockwork Magic and the kobold ghetto.

Clockwork magic is just what it sounds like: a school of new spells and creatures related to automatons and golems. The gazetteer defines the school with 32 new spells and a discussion of clockwork devices.

The kobold ghetto is a dimly-lit and dangerous place that comes alive by night, and that guards its privileges jealously. Learn who rules and what schemes the kobolds are honing behind the walls of their city-within-a-city.

For good measure, the Gazetteer includes the Gearforged PC race, a set of practical and strange city locales, a little bit of history, and five new clockwork monsters.

As a gazetteer-size treatment of the city, it provides enough that the shared world can truly be shared, without overwhelming a DM who wants to match the city to their own homebrew setting.
