Realm of the Denur

Introduction:

Centuries passed while the mountains lay quiet, but now forges are relit and the drums of old sound in the deep. The Denur, an ancient folk of Dwarves, have finally resurfaced and are ready to march under the banner of their King under Stone, Frór Pridebringer.

Entering the mountains of the denur, leaving the biting frost from the snowy outdoors, you will be struck with intense heat from the blasting forges, molten magma flowing through the cavern. The smashing of alloys and the crackling of the glowing hot tools being drowned in the buckets of water, the thundering cheering and tankards crashing against each other fill the atmosphere in this mountain. From deep in the mountains the songs of old rise to the surface. Taking a breath in, the smell of molten metal and beer would load your nose. Going through you are met by the black rock sides all around this fortress city, a glorious purple crystal in the center hanging down looking over the immense anvil of the denur, enveloped by black rock forges, with tools laying all around, ingots of gold and iron lay scattered over the forges. Great streams of Gold run like rivers through the stone.

Important People:

The troubled history of the Denur has seen many prominent leaders, but those who have had an enormous impact on society are written here.

Denor Stoneheart, first King of the nation and implementer of the Monarchy government and capitalist society.

Dririn, the most famous female dwarf, is credited for saving the remnant dwarves from the city, Azhad-dur. After a sacking of the city, she led the ones who could go on out of a secret tunnel and cared for them till they made it to Dar-ach Denur.

Dulir, the king who founded the multiple colonies before they had to return to Dar-ach Denur.

Drur, the lord who had a large part in getting the kingdom out of the dark age and into the expansionist age.

Culture and Society:

Commerce and Work

A large part of the kingdom of the Denur is mining and smithing. Nations across the land of Eden want to be as great smiths as the Denur, but can’t reach the same potential. With that, it makes sense for other nations wanting to get their hands on their tools, armor, and weapons. Trading has been done with multiple nations for their smithing skills in return for food. Notably, one nation, Hadriana, part of the King’s Court, a man by the name of Vivan De Augaussi, has had a long and prosperous trade with the Denur. This trade would comprise the Denur receiving food in trade for Vivan’s people receiving hand-crafted tools made by the master smiths of the Denur.

Political Beliefs

The Denur believe in freedom of speech for the citizens, all may speak their mind as long as they were born and raised as a Denur. It is legal for all to say what they want even if it is about their King but none would ever do that as they know their King was chosen from the beginning since the first King, Denor, and will lead them to victory just as the ones before has. To enter the city of Dar-ach Denur as an outsider, one must be escorted by either an Ironguard or another dwarf of a higher rank. This is because the Denur doesn’t like outsiders wandering around. If an outsider were to convert any of the Denur to their religion, that would because for either execution or to be thrown inside the dungeon, for the Denur never had a god’s help and didn’t need it.
