A chequerboard of cultivated fields carpeted the valley, with occasional stone buildings at their intersections. These looked more like barns and storehouses than dwellings, but a larger one near the centre was unmistakably a tavern, and another looked like some kind of meeting hall.
Where the fields lapped against the ankles of the mountains, gates opened into the rock in proper dwarvish fashion - but what gates! No attempt had been made to conceal them by crafting them to resemble the natural stone of the hillsides; rather, they appeared decorated, emphasized, enhanced. Rather than being closed, or sullenly ajar, they gaped open, flaunting the passage to the interior to the casual eye. They positively invited outsiders to enter the city below!
The larger building was a market hall, crowded with traders from Stryre, Narthal and the Red Dust, haggling and bargaining with the dwarves over produce from all three nations in exchange for the mined and crafted wealth from beneath the Ndrall.
All this was utterly changed by the Flaying in 1850. Everything above-ground and on the first two levels of Hadrasar was destroyed, along with half the population. The survivors struggled for ten years to halt the spread of the effects of the Ritual into their home, and a few still live in the depths in a manner more suited to mountain dwarves than hill dwarves. Most gave up and migrated north to settle in the southern foothills of the Erean Mountains.
