The Dwarven City of Kassiter. Wow!

Kassiter is a large dwarven sea port and the source of a trade caravan which travels to Klippika each summer. It is a significant distance west of Klippika, as the caravan takes around three months to travel the entire distance, stopping off at numerous other settlements along the way. The buildings of Kassiter are carved into the cliffs and crags bordering the ocean.

As of the start of year one Kassiter has not been visited by anybody from the valley, but has been seen from a distance of a few miles. It is a short distance east of the transport station Entaurdeshshan on the Builder Network, in rocky arid country. Even in the winter, when the first visitors from the valley came to Kassiter, the weather was warm.

Has a population of 25,000 souls.

All stone buildings with narrow streets, alleyways, fountains and market squares.

Originally a Dwarven Mining settlement where they discovered huge amounts of tin. Lots of mining tunnels under the city. Lots of Pewter ornaments in the markets. It is also a port with some trade with nearby islands.

Has an inner city which is separated by a wall. Appears to contain the more well off buildings. The inner city has an irrigation system which allows plants to grow in the hot climate.

The town has a local Dwarven Aristocrat who has got rich of the Port and Trade route.
