Kheled-Dûm
The jewel of the Stiffbeards
Mansion of Stiffbeards, Kheled-Dûm (Khuzdul for Lake Delvings) is a great city on the northernmost part of the Orocarni Mountains. Dwelling so far north, the region is snowy most of the year. The city has been built in front of Akhùthuzh Iklalkheled Zâram, the Eternal Frozen Lake, also known as simply Lake Malar. Even being a peaceful folk, the stiffbeards got great walls around the entrances of the city, protection agains orcs and snow-trolls.
Dwelling far north can be dangerous, and the Stiffbeards know it very well. Their Great Gates are reinforced with porticulis, and all entrances have walls for protection agains any kind of enemy. Even being a modest folk, they know making great stuff, and Kheled-Dûm is not an exception. Every hall, passage, corridor and chamber is decorated with smooth details.

Spoiler - History of Kheled-Dûm
The Stiffbeard's story has begun to the north. Further north even more than Kheled-Dûm, in a place called Kheled-Khidzín (Khuzdul for Mirror Halls) woke their father, Thúlin I. They first established on the Iron Mountains, west of Kheled-Khizdín. Their wealth grew for many centuries, and they were a very rich clan. But their riches aroused the greed of the Dragons and Drakes of the surrounding regions. First of all, every single small delving they have stablished was attacked. They got trapped on Kheled-Khizdín. The dragons then decided to attack. That day, many acts of bravery were performed, many great things have been realized, but all these stories now lie with the remains of what was once a large and rich city. The few of those that survived escaped thru a back door, that led to Forodwaith, The Everlasting Cold. The heir of the stiffbeard throne was the only one of royal line who had survived. Thúlin II led the remainings of his people to Forodwaith, with no hope of surviving much more. All that could be guaranted was that they wouldnt be devoured. The only thing you could see behind them was a big smoke darkening the sky and a warm reddish light, melting the ice of the mountains. Thúlin knew they wouldnt survive longer by staying or Forodwaith. But by that regions, the mountains would now be too dangerous. During many months they marched by the snow hills. No food, no water. Nowhere to go. But that wouldnt be their end.
After a long time and many casualties, Thúlin II, now known as The Swift, with his last hopes, led his people southwards, crossing the mountains. A risky move, but they managed to achieve their goal. South of the Iron Mountains, the weather was a little warmer. By the woods on their way, they learned how to hunt, how to find a secure place, and how to survive. But they still didnt stablish a decent home. No, the mountains were still way too dangerous. Thúlin drove his folk eastwards, until the borders of the Iron Mountains. There, the mountain chain met another : The Orocarni, or the Red Mountains. Nearly two years after the destruction of Kibil-Tarag, they discovered a great place. By the ground, as a giant scar of Earth, they discovered Lake Malar, very close to the Mountain side. There, by the side of a Glacier, and in front of Lake Malar, they founded a new delving, a new place to restart a decent life. Kheled-Dûm. But the vast ammount of riches and wealth they've got on the past was lost forever. The scar on their folk was too great to be erased so easy. Henceforth, the Stiffbeard clan became more modest, more simplistic and keept their wealth for trading, crafting, weaponry and machines.

I also do question the existance of that outer wall, when the mountain is your wall i don't think you need to waste resources on building a less effective one.
