Deep Roads

The Deep Roads are an extensive network of underground roads that once belonged to the dwarven kingdom, stretching far and wide beneath Thedas. The dwarves closed the Deep Roads off when they fell to the Darkspawn during First Blight. The entrances still exist, but are all sealed by octagonal steel doors decorated with geometric patterns that may form words or patterns. The only two known dwarven Thaigs left standing is Orzammar and Kal-Sharok, which is said to inhabit the last of the dwarven population, except the surface dwarves. The contact between two Thaigs is said to have been broken when most of the Deep Roads fell to the Darkspawn and ever since have they kept to themselves.
