Karak Izor (Hold)

The Hold of Karak Izor is one of the two Dwarf Holds alonside Karak Mulger that are situated in the Mountains of Lucerne. Karak Izor is the capital of the Kingdom of Karak Izor and has been built in the center of a naturally forming cavern, and is nearly impenatrable to outside attackers as it is situated high up on the inner ledge it can only be approached from one causeway, although the extensive underground tunnels mean there are many other secret entryways.

The Hold of Karak Izor and by extension the Kingdom held onto its belief in Karak Ankor for centuries, and resisted several popular resolutions in its halls to leave Karak Ankor. In the end it along with Karak Mulger left the Empire when it became clear that it was no longer capable or willing to assist them so far away from the World Edge Mountains. The Hold of Karak Izor now controls the entire mountains of Lucerne following the destruction of Karak Mulger, but this hold is tenuous with the expansion of both the goblins, and Humans. Although the humans saved Karak Izor, under Bill Lovie this relationship was destroyed, and the Dwarves didn't communicate with Lucerne until King Andrew Lovie sent messengers into the Deep Roads, and found the Dwarf Mine of Thaig Kortaze. This sparked a reunion of sorts and has reastablished ties between the old allies.
