Karaz-A-Karak - Everpeak
World's Edge Mountains
Karaz-A-Karak was the ancient capital of the old Dwarf Empire and its Lord is the High King of all the Dwarfs. The noble clans of Everpeak can trace a line of ancestry back to the Ancestor Gods themselves. As befitting the largest and mightiest of all the Dwarf Holds, each Ancestor God has a a major shrine within its impenetrable walls. In addition, the Great Book of Grudges and the Book of Remembering are also kept within the safety of the capital.
Karaz-A-Karak has never fallen to an invading force. Here, the traditions of the old Dwarf Empire are kept alive in their purest form. It is a city of ritual, temples, statues hewn from the rocks and tombs in deep vaults below the city.
The High King (Thorgrim Grudgebearer) holds court in a vast vault large enough to engulf a small human town. The forest of pillars which forms the mile-long nave is of truly colossal proportions. The whole vastness is illuminated by shafts of light, glowgems (Brightsone) and great braziers so that the glint of gold, the gleam of bronze and the warm glow of the rock is everywhere. Karaz-A-Karak has endured through ages past and will endure forever (hence Everpeak).

Hold Colours of Karaz-A-Karak
Blue and Yellow - or at least it was originally (1st Ed. WHFRP sources). More recently pictures of the High King are shown in blue and white. These are actually the official Hold Colours of Zhufbar (1st Ed. - Note, recent Black Library 'The Dwarfs' publication has Zhufbar as Blue and Dark Red). Clear as mud.
