Hammertask

"Clean as a jewel and just as precious" - Dom Boarbatter of Hammertask.



At a Glance


The "Diamond City of the Dwarves" is known for its impressive architecture. Nestled in the Dwarven mountains beneath Steelbottom, Hammertask serves as the capital to the Dwarven realm. Perfectly symmetrical, Hammertask is as its name suggest built in the shape of a giant underground diamond. Branching out from the city are mining tunnels which carry metal, gemstones, and ore back to the hub of Dwarven culture.

Hammertask is named after Dunnban Hammerloft, its architect.

History
Founded by the Dwarven warlord Ogg Fluxwagon the city of Hammertask was built as a challenge. One night Ogg had overheard a fellow Dwarf in the local tavern bragging that his clan had the smartest, industrious architects. Wishing to prove the drunken man wrong Ogg scoured his clan for the most talented architect before finding Dunnban Hammerloft. Comissioning the young Dwarf proved to be a boon to Ogg as Dunnban wasn't only talented, but a perfectionist. Calculating the city's dimensions down to a fraction of a quarter of an inch, Dunnban provided his warlord with the schematics to a glittering city blueprint only twenty-four hours after Ogg's request.

The city's construction was immediately put underway and Ogg soon had his "Diamond City". Hammertask was officially christened one year later, named for "Hammer's Task" in honour of Dunnban Hammerloft.

During the Necrotic War, Hammertask was ruled by King Dom Boarbatter.

Age of Adventure
The city of Hammertask was partially sacked by a warband of Hobgoblins when "The Breach" opened between the realm of the Dwarves and the Underdark.
