Stoneshallow

Stoneshallow is an independant City-State built around a cliff side on the coast of the sea. It is built on the ruins of an old Dwarven Kingdom that made their home in the cliffside.

Description
Stoneshallow is a former dwarven mine that was built into the side of a sheer cliff. Currently it sits on top of the cliff as well as the bottom. It is split into three main districts: The Docks, The Residence, and the Parliament. Cutting through the city is a large river that falls over the cliff side and enters splits the docks into a North and South Side. The dwarven founders of the city had carved a giant statue of the into the cliffside incorporating the waterfall both aesthetically and functionally. It is in the likeness of an unknown Dwarven hero with river entering the back of his head under the helmet and pouring out of the mouth. The statue appears to be holding a giant water wheel that is used to power an elaborate elevator system.
