Mabulzikar

Mabulkizar is a sizable dwarven kingdom located on the great island of Taijuria. It dominates the northern limb of the island (Charnan) along with a large part of the central section, and also controls some strongholds in Peiramia and the northernmost corner of Lesharea. All of these regions are mountainous, or at least made up of rocky highlands. The narrow low-lying coastal areas, even around the shores of Charnan, are outside the borders of Mabulzikar.
The Mabulzikaru are is more reclusive and xenophobic than the major dwarven states of Rhydain, having only limited interest in trade with humans and no interest at all in relations beyond the commercial. In the past, the Sarcian Empire (striking from their provinces in Lesharea) fought two unsuccessful wars against the dwarves of Mabulzikar, attempting to subjugate them and gain access to their mineral riches. The Sarcians lost badly both times and doubtless only reinforced the Mabulzikaru view of humans as greedy, untrustworthy thieves and graspers.
Nevertheless, some humans do live up in the mountains of Mabulzikar. They are few in number and, to outsiders, seem almost as insular and unfriendly as the Mabulzikaru themselves. Whatever alliance they have made with the dwarves to allow them to dwell there is peculiar to their kind and seems to have been in place for centuries. They have no large towns, just scattered villages in the high dells cradled by the snowy peaks. By appearance and dialect, they come from Ullyrian stock.
The capital of Mabulzikar and seat of its royal clan is XXXX XXXXXXXX, in the high peaks of southern Charnan, near the island's center point.
