Barak Varr is the largest coastal city in the Dwarven territories, the seat of the Dwarf navy, the home of many engineers and shipwrights, and the center of Dwarf inter-species commerce. As such, the Dwarves of Barak Varr lead a very cosmopolitan lifestyle; they are free to enjoy the finest imported fabrics, exotic spices, and of course food, wine and spirits from the most renowned producers in the Old World.

Due to this steady trade, Barak Varr has also become famous as one of the few places in the world that almost anyone of any race can sample real Dwarven ales. Travelers from far and wide make special effort to enjoy the master-crafted brews whenever they come to the city.

The Brewers of Barak Varr do keep busy due to this popularity, and the many distractions of city life. But when they're not brewing, drinking, or bedding their women, they also enjoy the classic Dwarven past-time of battling on the fields of the Blood Bowl!
