The city of Niveltun lies at the foothills of the Great Northern Mountains in Hirogashi, a land where time stands still. The city is home to a thriving community of gnomes, who have made their homes in the twisting roots of the ancient trees that line the city's winding streets.
Niveltun is known for its intricate clockwork devices, which are crafted by the gnomes using rare metals and gems found only in the mountains. The city's clock tower is a marvel of engineering, with gears and cogs that hum and whirr throughout the day and night.
Despite the city's small size, Niveltun is a bustling hub of commerce and culture. The gnomes trade their mechanical creations with travelers who venture into the city, and the local tavern is always filled with music and laughter.
But life in Niveltun is not without its dangers. The city lies close to the border of the Shadowlands, where the creatures of the dark side of Hirogashi dwell. The gnomes have learned to defend themselves with clever traps and weapons, but they still live in constant vigilance, ever watchful for the encroaching darkness.
