Kal'Nikaer is the current capital of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, located beneath the mountains of northern Tahn. It is the most populous dwarven city, with numerous Elven denizens that arrived only recently. It was founded by the Dwarves fleeing Vailor and arriving on the Isles of Axios. The city itself is built above a large system of caves, passages and ruins known as the Deep roads.

The Deeproads
The Deeproads are the vast system of caves and ruins underneath Kal'Nikaer and the surrounding mountains. Brave Dwarves explore the passages every now and then to salvage relics, resources or knowledge on their ancestors. The caverns have three distinguishable sub-regions explored so far:
- The Mushroom Cavern: A large and open cavern filled with glowing mushrooms, populated by giant monsters and Ratiki before the arrival of Dwarves from Vailor. Remains of a forlorn camp and village with timber walls is still present within.
- The Construct Grotto: A collosal cave of dark stone and lava. It's dotted with abandoned camps where the Dwarves fought animated armours and constructs. The middle section of the cave housed the shrine from where the Dwarves entered the ruins of a library and a Thanhium deposit.
- Belka's Cavern: An smaller opening at the end of the hot chute next to the entrance to the construct grotto. The Dwarves spoke to a presumed voice of Belka within this cave.
