Tarimbo, otherwise known as the Rounded Jewels of the Western Bank, is a citadel located upon the Resilient Coast in the Underground. Its many towers rise in the shape of wide mushrooms made of rock and stone, bursting with peoples from all walks of life: Gnomes from Dartarilho, Grey Dwarves from Tawapã and Deep Gnomes from Elterobim, all peoples of the Resilient Alliance. Needless to say, the Alliance was formed from the political effort between several territories to the East of the Endful Sea.
Some bigger folk, such as Tieflings, from Tiefenland, and Lizardfolk, from elsewhere, also make a living behind its walls, most of them artisans, merchants and sell-swords. Upon close inspection, one could also find a few Black Orcs from the Banners, but any other peoples besides them are much more difficult to find.
The citadel is a feast of sensations: open markets, narrow streets, festive flags and lights overhanging alleys. Most buildings are tall enough for the taller species to enter, but still comfortable for the taste of shorter patrons. A visitor could walk for hundreds of days among the streets of Tarimbo and still miss most of its features, such as the constellation of shrines dedicated to the many demigods worshipped by the peoples of the Alliance.
Tarimbo is ruled by a council formed by respectable families of Gnomic, Grey-Dwarvish and Deep origin. They seldom meet, only doing so when the matter is of the gravest importance. Their last summit happened not too long ago, upon the arrival of the White Eternal on the Surface.
