About Kraggodan (dwarf city) and Gorm Greathammer

[Galeazzo]

Hi everybody, it's been a while from my last post.

Background and some spoilers:

My friends are playing Carrion Crown and I've been asked by the master to build a short session which will be part of a grater adventure that will take place after the events of CC itself. The goal is to recover an artifact somewhere in Kraggodan, which is necessary to open the gates of Gallowspire.

Little is known about Kraggodan, except that it's a Sky Citadel and its third prince is Gorm Greathammer. I'm ignorant about noble titles (especially about dwarves), so I ask you: what does exactly third prince mean: does he have 2 older brothers, and his father is the current king? Are those brothers dead for him to be called prince? Or maybe he is the third ruler in the recent history who calls himself prince?

Moreover, if anybody has any info about Sky Citadels (official or not) I would be happy if he could share them!

My current ideas, for your curiosity:

I plan to create a political party inside the city that put aside the current regnant, started an isolationist policy and plans to dig somewhere they shouldn't. PCs will have to help the fled rulers to save the city and sedate the rebellion if they want to access the artifact.

Excellent fan development on Kraggodan can be found here. And even more here here.

The article on the Greathammers from that site describes the ruling family and contains:

​Gorin Greathammer: Third son of Iogan and Dosre, and a Pathfinder. Gorin most famously led an expedition to the Darklands before the discovery of the shoggoth in Kraggodere.​

Seekers of Secrets: The dwarves of Kraggodan warmly welcome Pathfinders to their Sky Citadel, however, in no small part due to the fact that the third prince of the city, Gorm Greathammer, is himself a Pathfinder agent in good standing, having published no fewer than three exploits in the Pathfinder Chronicles. Kraggodan’s lower levels hold many entrances into the Darklands, attracting a fair amount of interest among the Pathfinder Society.

I would assume these to be the same person.

There's also gonna be a bunch more information on Kraggodan in the upcoming Ironfang Invasion Adventure Path, as an entire book of it will take place in Kraggodan!

Correct! And It should go without saying that there will be some further information on the Greathammers in this gazetteer article. :)

I'm looking forward to it.

Does anybody know which type of settlement it will be? I.e. What is the size of its population? Nearby Glimmerhold which is mentioned in Inner Sea World Guide in the description of the coutry Nirmathas, and which is detailed in Clash of the Kingslayers is only a small city, but then it is not a Sky Citadel...

Is it still metropolis sized per the population? Why is it not mentioned in ISWG ?

PS: I wonder who the author of the articles linked to above is.
