Description: The Southern State of Dwarves is an ancient and prestigious empire that is revered through much of Norrik. Though the Southern 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. An ancient dispute has left the Southern State far from contact with their Northern cousins, and they carry perhaps an unreasonable prejudice for those cousins to their North. The Southern Dwarves are noted for their rather open acceptance of most of their neighbors, allowing much trade to pass through the mountains and hills they survey. They are rich by the profit and tax of this trade, in addition to the wealth of the export of great many metals and minerals they harvest. The Southern State of Dwarves maintains positive relations with the Mitherians, but are only truly related by trade. Though they border the sea, their efforts upon it have been only limited; many suggest that Dwarves are naturally prone to sea-sickness, a myth perhaps more true than not. The Southern State maintains only a limited army as they have no true threats in their neighbors, instead investing themselves more thoroughly in the politics of peace.
