The large, meticulously planned and well-fortified metropolises which serve as the regional capitals of Gildenhome. Once in the far ancient past (even by Dwarven reckoning) there was the Mountainhome, the lost mythical homeland of all Dwarves, but over the centuries the resourceful and industrious Gilden have thrived and established several large communities which now use that title. The architecture, design, and engineering of each Mountainhome varies to best take advantage of the geology and industrial resources where they are situated but all act as regional hubs of culture, religion, governance, trade, and industry.

Many raised in a Mountainhome consider anything outside of them, even the best and largest of Human cities, the equivalent in danger and recklessness as prospecting in the wilderness. Even in the Mountainhomes closest to the borders or ports most outsiders and traders are generally kept outside or in designated areas so few outside of locals will ever see the extensive carvings, sculptures, and exquisite crafts and stonework that fill up any good Dwarf Fortress.
