==History==
===First Mallean Empire===
The First Mallean Empire was a legendary dwarven nation in Eldham. It was founded by Emperor Malleus and fellow refugees from the disbanded Ancient Dwarven Imperium. Legend says that Malleus learned the holy craft of smithing from the giants of the Nether before their purge at the hands of the god Tokad. To this day, no one has mastered the craft of the smith better than the Malleans of the First Empire. The Empire was destroyed by dragons sometime before the founding of Varn Torum. The remaining Malleans killed the dragons and went into exile. Among these were Lord_Khan and SenkelIimp, who would later proclaim the Second Mallean Empire and after that the People's Republic of Malleus.
=== Second Mallean Empire===
The Second Mallean Empire was first proclaimed on 17th July 2021. There were talks of an alliance with the People's Republic of Holzinsel before its collapse. As dictated by Mallean Emperor Lord_Khan and Varn Torum official Salmmanfred on the 18th of July 2021, the Mallean Empire merged with Varn Torum in order to achieve dwarven unity. Malleus would hold a high degree of autonomy over its territory and population and was known as the "Varn Torum Protectorate of Malleus".
They controlled the Mallean Peninsula as well as St. Boic Peninsula.
=== 2nd January 2022===
On the 2nd of January 2022, the Diarchy decided upon a rework of the provinces, integrating Malleus further into the capital, but still holding a certain degree of autonomy. Later on, Malleus was fully integrated into the capital and lost all autonomy.
===Early May 2022 and Ongoing ===
In early May of 2022, Lord_Khan and SenkelIimp departed from the Mallean mainland to form the People's Republic of Malleus on the Dragonshore, a legendary land claimed by Malleus.
In the long run, however, Malleus still strives towards dwarvish pan-nationalism and might seek to rejoin Varn Torum sometime in the future.
