Dwarven Federation of Storrak

As it stands, The Dwarven Federation is comprised of the different dwarven estates in the northe eastern coastal lands secluded by the mountain ridges of *Kadrel Donnar*. Deep beneath the protection of *Kadrel Donnar*, dwarvenkind managed to escape conscription to the Collosi wars that plagued the regions of Edynor.

The years of isolation allowed the dwarves to focus on their survival, making the best of their underground resources. Then, a rare ore was found deep beneathe Kadrel Donnar, it was able to retain heat for long periods of time and even after being drenched underwater. They began studying this ore until their uninterrupted work eventually leading to technological advances. The power of steam slowly began to change everything.

Their new engines allowed for faster travel along the mines, which in turn allowed for further expansion outwards beneath the frozen coast. They kept on expanding all the way out to *Dormark*. More and more dwarves poured out of the mountains towards the coastal areas of Storrak. Eventually this led to the  establishment of new outposts throughout the region and opened up the doors for new areas of research. Thanks to this it  became necessary then to establish the Federation. Every major outpost would rule and focus as they saw fit, but they all observed Storrak Law.

Dwarves now understand earth, water and fire enough to power their cities and allow them to thrive. Machines and engines that transport goods and citizens all over the region have granted a steady flow of supplies and materials between the outposts scattered across Storrak. They have even managed to trade ores and knowledge for an alliance with the nation of Galthadyr whose merchants often travel above ground to the closer dwarven city-state of *Dormark* for trade as the tundra is very unforgiving.

### Technology

In the first century of the Collosi wars. Each dwarven outpost has focused their research on different areas of understanding. Every winter, hundreds of dwarves pour back to Kadrel to escape the colder temperatures and use the opportunity to hold an assembly for researchers to present their most recent findings at the College.

### Geographical Features

* Dor-Dunlur (Underground iron river)- Dwarven underground train network
* Auglean Sea- Northern Sea

* Find-lor-
* Dormark ***Yaughadar-* Storrak’s southwestern mountain range.**

### Known settlements

* Aug-lor
* Kadrel Donnar (The Forge)
	+ The city-state of Kadrel is known as The First Forge. the Feuding Clans: Savery and Ayanz over who developed the steam technology first. Watt clan is on the rise, after improving upon the initial steam tech.
* Dormark (The Anvil)
	+ The city-state of Dormark is focused mainly on new research areas and political studies. This is where the constant exchange with the human city of Galthadyr occurs.
* Ham-lor (Hammer)
	+ The city-state of Ham-lor is focused on the research and creation of artificial environments. The entire city is powered by steam and a dome of glass covers it. Thanks to the research there are lush environments growing inside that would otherwise would not be possible in the tundra.
