Description:
The Northern State of Dwarves is an ancient and prestigious empire that is revered through much of Norrik. Though the Northern State is indeed ruled by a monarchal family, ruling Dwarves do not take 'family-names' as do most other Norrician societies. Their kings are always known by a single name, and the title bestowed them. The Northern State stretches from Azilaeth's snowy frontiers down South through the mountain chains of Western Tyria. Trade with the Tyrian claimants that surround their Southern edge has brought the Northern Dwarves great wealth by the many minerals and metals they harvest. Often dealing to both sides of a war or dispute, many Tyrian houses seek to forge true alliance with the Dwarves they border. The Valujian's they border too rely on a heft import of Dwarven goods from the North; despite old standing hostilities between the two. The Northern State is a militaristic and cold nation that adheres to a rigorous code of honour, though there is still much warmth in their hearts and by fires of their great cities. They believe themselves the only true and righteous state of Dwarves, and are greatly at odds with their Southern cousins; feeding their own hatred and prejudice with propoganda and myth of those cousins so far South.
