Due to its location in a range of icy mountains, Thornheim eternally covered in a layer of snow. Most of its buildings were constructed of ~~either~~ stone or spruce wood, but various other materials ~~were also used~~, notably red brick. A great number of towers capped the mountain peaks above, serving as lookout posts and signal towers.

Many homes and ~~worksite~~ were ~~build~~ directly into the ~~mountain side~~, usually having great staircases carved directly into the stone. Such locations included the Ridgesite Complex and Julnoor Alchemists Guildhall. Most buildings, however, existed in a flat area between several mountains, colloquially known as either the town square or "The Flats".

Thornheim's government was decided to be a representative democracy early into its history. While this plan cause a [[The Falsehood: Democracy|numbe]]<nowiki/>r of [[The Sanitae|criticisms]], the concept was made official and the Thornheim Half-Congress was established. The reason for this name was the fact that not every Dwarf would not be a member of the Congress, but would instead be citizens who would vote representatives to act on their behalf.

The elected representatives were known as Congydwarves, with a Speaker chosen from among them who would ~~funciton~~ as the Half-Congress' presiding officer. Various subordinate positions were created by the Half-Congress, such as the Hillsmarshal who would command the Outpost's molir, as well as various "Landydwarves" who would administer the Outpost as designated by the Half-Congress.
