Corvus is one of the most structured and deliberate cities in all of Zerith, standing in stark contrast to the more organic growth of its neighbors. Founded by Dwarves at the base of a mountain range, the city was designed rather than expanded, with cleanly laid streets, defined districts, and a sense that every piece belongs exactly where it is. Even as other cultures have settled within its walls, that underlying order remains, giving Corvus a feeling of stability and permanence that few other cities can match.
The city’s identity is shaped as much by what lies within it as what rises above it. A grand temple to Moradin is carved directly into the mountainside, its massive doors marking both a place of worship and the primary entrance to the mines that sustain the city. Nearby, the Anvil’s Ring dominates an entire district, where forges burn day and night and smiths from across Zerith gather to hone their craft. The constant rhythm of hammer on metal and the glow of furnace light are as much a part of Corvus as its streets and stonework, leaving visitors with the impression of a city that is not only built with purpose—but always building.
