Hammer Hold

Map of region

Location

The Dwarven run "free town" of Hammer Hold is located at the borders of the Welcome Hills and the southernmost edge of the Hammer Peaks (the mountain range which runs down the centre of Thorast).

Inns and Taverns

Inns:

• The Coach and Pony - The higher quality of the two inns in town and, as such, rooms are relatively pricey, costing 2 denari a night (plus food for an extra 7 unari). However the 10 rooms are clean and comfortable with double-beds. A stable, holding up to 8 horses, is available for 3 unari per horse per day (with feed for 1 unari extra).
• Rondal's Inn - a Human-run inn of lower quality than the Coach and Pony. The inn's 18 rooms are basic and contain 2 bunks. Prices are 12 unari a night (plus food for 5 unari). Rondal's Inn does not have a stable.

Taverns:

• The Foundation Stone - although typically thought of as an "adventurer's bar" there is also regular entertainment here.
• The Black Cat - this is where non-Dwarves and non-Humans tend to congregate. As such it is usually thought of as an "Orc bar".

Acknowledgements

The town of "Hammer Hold" is based on the "Hammerfast" D&D supplement by Mike Mearls and hence the maps of the town are (c) WotC 2010. Hammer Hold's history, buildings, guilds and NPCs do deviate significantly from that "Adventure Site" (as it is called). Knowing the contents of the "Hammerfast" supplement will give players no readily usable information about "Hammer Hold".
