Harbohr is a city and holding of '''[[Bormar]]''' in the Southern part of the nation. It is surrounded both by the Galita Bluffs to the West, and the Koreggi Mountains to the East. It is upriver from the Purple River, a few kilometers from the vast ocean known as The Well.

Line 17:
In 789 BY, Lord Koraalduivel was nearly killed in his home by a crossbow bolt shot through his window. Thankfully, the bolt instead struck a nearby vase. The molir, which was commanded by Lord Korralduivel's daughter Marshal Helna, quickly rallied and placed the city on lockdown to apprehend the would-be assassin. A few short hours later, an assassin was found in an alleyway with a knife between his shoulders. Lord Korallduivel quickly petitioned assistance from the [[First House|'''First House''']] after receiving information that a member of his own molir may be responsible. The First House quickly ordered the [[Office of National Investigations|'''Office of National Investigations''']] to investigate the matter.
 
In a shock to everyone, the report connected the assassin to none other than Marshal Helna herself by manner of the assassin being a former molir member who worked with Helna in her earliest days on the force. While the connection was tenuous, further evidence showed that the Marshal's whereabouts were unknown at the time of the assassination, not even to her husband. Even worse, she was one of the last '''[[Dwarves]]''' at the scene of the assassination, despite the would-be victim being her own father.
 
Marshal Helna was famous for her character and wits and was known to use her prestigious family name to her benefit. Still, such was to be expected of an ambitious Dwarf of Bormar, and the evidence that was presented was circumstantial at best. In a public appearance before the city, Lord Koraalduivel and his daughter appeared together and declared the report nothing but lies. To prove the matter, Helna would voluntarily step down from her position as Marshal to show that she was not nearly as ambitious as the report claimed. The gesture was well-received, and the assassination has faded into memory, with its mysteries never being known.
