Korunda Gate is both a city and a dragonmarked enclave located in the Ironroot Mountains in the Mror Holds . The city is the seat of power for House Kundarak , who also run the city. [2] The actual gate itself is an entrance into the dwarven enclaves of the Mror Holds and the ruins of the ancient dwarvish empire. [3]
Government
As a dragonmarked enclave, Korunda Gate is under the authority of Kundarak's leader, Lord Morrikan d'Kundarak , who has the final say on political decisions. However, the day-to-day operation of the city is performed by a council of administrators known as hearthwardens. The head of the council is given the honorific of Matron, and that position is currently held by Matron Jakela Tuvodni . [2]
History
Korunda Gate is the birthplace of House Kundarak, and was once the center of Kundarak Hold, the lands belonging to Clan Kundarak before they were an established dragonmarked house . As a clan, Kundarak was charged with keeping watch over the dwarf exiles who would form the Mror Holds and prevent them from trying to reenter the Realm Below and the ancient dwarven empire within. [3] [4]
About 2500 years ago, the Mror Holds were subjugated by Karrn the Conqueror , including Korunda Gate. With Kundarak's permission, the sealed gates were opened, revealing that the dwarven empire was no more. [3]
When House Kundarak formally became a dragonmarked house in 106 YK , they ceased all mining operations in Korunda Gate. The majority of the mines were transformed into vaults. [1]
Economy
House Kundarak

Korunda Gate is House Kundarak's largest enclave and is home to its leader, Lord Morrikan d'Kundarak. The vaults below Korunda Gate are among the most secure vaults in Khorvaire and hold a large amount of House Kundarak's wealth. In addition to gold, the vaults are also used to store artifacts, weapons, and armors for the House and select members of its clientele and are the headquarters for House Kundarak's operations. [2] [3] [4]
Services
Korunda Gate has many high-security vaults and anyone looking to store anything from a small magical item to a whole airship can rest assured that Korunda Gate has an empty vault waiting for their payment. [4]
Though mining operations have ceased in Korunda Gate, House Kundarak reserved the rights to lease out their ancestral territories of Kundarak Hold for mining. Due to the agreement, House Kundarak cannot actively be involved in the mining so instead they retain the rights to take a percentage of any earnings mined in the Kundarak Holds. [1]
