Khaz Urheim

Khaz Urheim is the holding of Magnus Allfather, which bridges the gap between Ahren and the Bardo, and is in its entirety his divine realm (and one of few artificial structures in Ahren reflected in the Bardo). The city has one entrance near the peak of the Eigenmont, in the south-central Atlas Mountains. Such is the enchantment on this gatehouse that its position appears to shift at random, rarely revealing itself to explorers at all. The souls of dead dwarves haunt the surrounding area, drawn toward this gate and to their ultimate judgement. Most of the Dwarven Pantheon take residence here, along with the souls of the glorious dead of dwarvenkind and powerful golem known as the Secondborn.

Geography

Khaz Urheim is structured like a typical dwarven stronghold, though it delves far deeper, far below the roots of the mountains and into the dark of the Deeps. Supposedly these lower levels all permit access to various reaches of the Deeps, but peculiarities of the universe mean that such portals only allow egress. Also peculiarly, two paths at the same depth may lead out into the Deeps, but one might lead to the Deeps of Ahren and the other to the deeps of the Bardo.
