Thadir

Built in the God Era, Thadir was the headquarters of the Hammers of Khage. Thadir is a massive mountain citadel with rings big enough that dragons can walk the halls and escape into the wind.

Sited in a very strategic area, the meeting of three passes, it covered Broken Hoof Vale's southeastern approach. In the Hoof Front (9245 GE - 9262 GE), Thadir and the other fortifications of the Viiz Bo Rei, guarded against the demon hordes of Orcus.

Orcus wanted the Aerie for no other reason than to flank Demogorgon's advance into Lirgaza and Inirthak. He was never too serious about the whole war, seeking to annoy the machinations of the demon lords, and fighting the angelic armies whenever they got in his way.

After Orcus was knocked-out of the war, Thadir became the headquarters of two wings of the Nonvul Viing. As the theater of war moved beyond the Aerie of Dragons, Thadir was relegated to being a hospital and training area for green troops.

At the end of the Demon Spawn War (8972 GE - 9493 GE), Thadir became home to the Khage.

By the start of the Horgon Era, Thadir had 160,000 tax-paying citizens. These were spread across the vales and their rich volcanic farmlands, and among the hills and peaks of Tu Naar and into the subterranean reaches below. The term Thadir Mining State is sometimes used for the places built by Thadir's clans, meager in the beginning, later great holds and city-states like Gruordock, Gulud-Turam and Stalag.

In the March of Resalth (898 HE - 933 HE), after a two-year siege, Thadir fell to the dragon soldiers of Resalth.

Haunted by the ghost dragons of Feykro Silon, Thadir is home to only beasts and those of goodly intent.
