The town of Nidafall is a paragon of dwarven engineering. A massive dam, two hundred feet tall and four hundred feet wide, has been constructed across the icy Nidafors river, and the vast power of the river diverted to industrial purposes, such as smelteries, smithies, mills, and whale oil refineries.
The dam has tamed the river to the extent that ships can sail up to the town to trade, at least in the summer months. However, it is such a long way around that many goods still go south by cart.
Nidafall Dam
The dam spans across the river, and also contains a Firelodge of the Flame Eternal. The top of the dam is open to the public, and houses the town's market.
Runar Stormflood
(dwarf artificer, LN, 78): Master Runar runs the Firelodge and is responsible for the operation of the dam. He is a master mechanist, who worked his way up the ranks of the dam crew.
