Greysmere is an community of dwarves located near the domain of Greyhawk, south of the Mistmarsh. The fortification is built into the side of the mountain and mostly consists of underground caverns. 400 dwarves call Greysmere home. It includes underground fisheries and fungus farms, and passages leading to the Underdark over which the dwarves maintain strict watches. Greysmere pays neither tribute nor tax to Greyhawk, but it has signed a pact offering military aid in time of war. In return, information collected by the Mountaineer Militia concerning events in the area is supplied to Greysmere’s rulers (rather belatedly most of the time).
Although they favour an isolationist lifestyle, the dwarves here do occasionally trade with merchants from the City of Greyhawk.
The headman is Fionor the Rude, a retired adventurer whose title is well deserved. Travelers are personally invited to dine with him in the stronghold's limestone halls. Despite his boorishness, Fionor respects those who command respect, and is a trustworthy friend of many. It should also be noted that unlike most dwarven strongholds, the worship of Ulaa predominates in Greysmere, although the Morndinsamman has several followers as well.
