The second city of Argysis, Morphi was a center of learning and craft. Its great forges worked iron and turned out weapons and tools traded the length of the Kharvorn. When the brother-dragons came, Morphi held longer than any other hold in the kingdom: its defenders fought on for nearly a year after the gatehouses to the north had fallen. Rothogomos did not break them so much as bury them, collapsing the mountain passages and sealing the city with everyone still inside it. It is the clearest example of the strategy the dwarves fought the whole war by, denying the dragon a working prize even at the cost of the people holding it.
Morphi is considered haunted. The few who have found a way into the sealed city report that the forges still glow, that hammers still ring in the deep, and that the defenders never stopped defending. They simply stopped being alive.
