• Geography: 262k sq.mi. The most powerful dwarven empire, located in the Iron Mountains. Most of the dwellings and cities are underground.
• Government: Ruled with the iron (and gem encrusted) fist of The King of The Dwarves.
• Population and Races: Dwarven dominated society. Other races can be found, particularly those who like underground living. Non-dwarven ideas allowed, but you’d best keep it quiet.
• Culture: Culture built around the connection to the earth. Known for their rather wealth oriented philosophy of life. Known for their excesses; whether it be working, fighting, drinking, or holding grudges.
• Economy and Trading: Mining, and the export iron, gems, and manufactured goods (especially weapons and armor). Import food and rare gems.
• Military: Good soldiers, masters of siege warfare and tenacious defense. Fight as clans, with each individual clan providing whatever mix of soldiers are appropriate or available for their unit. Some clans do specialize in specific aspects of warfare.
• Allies and Rivals: Friendly with whatever humanoid nation will buy their products. Has had skirmishes with The North on multiple occasions. Always a touchy relationship with the Sylvenian Confederacy, although they have allied in the past. They are engaged in constant warfare (with varying degrees of intensity) with the Theocracy of Rai-dul and The Orkan Horde. Other enemies include the Land of Giants and other creatures that interfere with their pushes into the Iron Mountain range.
