Tronjheim

From Inheriwiki, the ever-growing Inheritance database

Tronjheim was the capital city of the dwarves, located within Farthen Dûr. "Tronjheim" meant "Helm of Giants" in the Dwarvish language. Despite complaints that it was a drain on dwarven resources, it was always kept garrisoned and ready for use. Orik stated that in times of misfortune it was capable of housing the entire nation of dwarves. In the three times it had been needed for this, it saved the entire dwarf race from destruction.

[edit] Real-world connections

"Trondheim" is the name of one of Norway's oldest cities; it was the capital of Norway until 1217 AD. The name "Trondheim" means "home of the throne" in Norwegian (Trond = throne; heim = home).

• Tronjheim is about three times larger than Minas Tirith [1], and made out of the same material as the Taj Mahal.

[edit] Abandoning

The Varden left Tronjheim after the Battle under Farthen Dûr because they feared that Galbatorix might attack again and capture the Varden with ease.
