Information on Trysis
Trysis is a large canyon with thousands of caves in the sides of it. This is the home of the dwarves. They mined the canyon out long ago, now the caves they dug is where they all live. It has an excellent defence. There are only two ways to get in and out of Trysis unless you had wings. They have two large tunnels on either side of the canyon that leads down into the canyon. From there on each side, it opens up and the dwarves can walk along the walkways to go to any cave they desire. The walkways are ridges along the side of the canyon, and on the sides there are wooden hand rails so no one will accidentally stumble and fall to the bottom of the canyon. There are countless bridges in Trysis, so the people don’t have to go all the way to the bottom of the canyon, then climb up again just to get to the other side. The bridges are made of good hard wood that won’t break.
