Astakar (pronounced OSS-tah-kar) is a city in the dwarven nation of Barat Rkund. A classic example of Rkundi architecture and craftsmanship, the city is built into a mountainside, partially in the open air and partially underground. The exterior section of the city is well-defended by great stone walls, regularly patrolled by Astakar's citizen militias. Underground, long and well-decorated tunnels connect the meticulously planned neighborhoods carved from the stone.
