Irongate is a single city-state with large, heavily fortifiied walls. Due to its strategic location and the pervasive siege mentality of its denizens, the city maintains a large, well trained standing army and navy. An island citadel wards the bay, and a series of interlocking gates controls water access to the city.

Irongate is famous for quality iron ore, mining, and metalwork. Irongate weaponsmiths are generally considered the best in the Flanaess.

Some people claim that the Mayor may be more than he appears--perhaps not human, or even truely humanoid. No one has ever openly confronted Drag on the matter.
