This map set is part of the Bharzul series.

Background

The Lords Road is the main avenue through the city of Bharzul, leading directly north from the Watchers Gate all the way to the Stone Palace. It gradually slopes upwards the entire length, connecting the various levels of the mountaintop city.

The Lords Road showcases much of the Dwarves wealth and talents. The wide avenue is lined with ornate statues and sculptures made from bronze and gold, the road itself is inlaid with marble and precious metals formed into grand ornate patterns. During holidays and festivals, parades are put on here to entertain the populace. Raised podiums on either side provide a vantage point for the audience to overlook the area. These are also frequented throughout the year as casual meeting places.

Like much of the city it has a secondary defensive use. Any attacking force that did somehow manage to breach the gate would be funnelled along this route, always downhill from the defenders. Lightweight, mobile artillery and barricades are stashed along the road and can be deployed onto it within minutes of an alarm being sounded, something practiced regularly by the city’s guard.
