The United Dwarven Clans

## UDC

Description of Society:

* The UDC are a series of the various dwarven clans across the western region of Sonn'Runedar that form together to create the UDC. They are a society focused on family and honing ones craftsmanship. The UDC is made up of four distinct regions, the Wood Region, which sits in the East, The Stone Region which sits in the North, The Precious Materials Region which sits in the South and the Development Region which sits in the west. Each Region is responsible for the production and craft what that region is best at.

Structure:

* Every Clan has a place within the UDC, these clans unite within their own regions to establish their own laws and structure for their region, with a series of 4 Clans being elected from each region to meet together in the capitol city to meet on problems on the continent, laws and structure for the whole civilization. This creates a group of 12 Clans that are elected to go to each meeting, along with the Stormbrands, who always have a seat at the table due to help overthrowing the Thornack Empire.

Symbol:

* The symbol for the UDC is a diamond with four symbols closest to each corner of the diamond, there is a axe representing the region of wood, a pickaxe representing the region of stone, a magnifying glass representing the region of minerals and a gear reprseenting the region of development.

Population:

* 97,351 - Mostly Dwarves, the majority of Dwarves are Mountain Dwarfs, with Hill Dwarfs making up the next biggest majority. Humans and Gnomes make up most of the rest of the population, with a very little amount of other species.

Military:

* The UDC has an high land military rating, with a very strong focus on capable melee fighters. Both their sea and sky military's ratings re considered to be low. The UDCs military is known as the United Militia, they wear light reds and dark browns. The UDC also has a paramilitary force known was the Protectors of Law, a force of spys that act under the Lawmasters watch.

Trade:

* The UDC trades in wood, stone and precious materials, Sonn'Runedar being a continent rich in all of these things, they trade with much of the rest of the world regularly. A lot of the worlds stone comes from Sonn'Runedar alone.

Religion:

* *Gerick* is the Patron God of the UDC, being the God of the Dwarves. *Adrex* and *Cerilla* are the two other gods mainly worshipped here. The Worship of *Tizena* and *Lennox* are both outlawed within the UDC, Tizena due to her relation to Storms, which the UDC relate to the Storm Giant which attacked and attempted to take over the continent. Lennox due to being a God of Trickery and Differences, when the dwarves wish to be punctual and ordered, the UDC believes the worship of him would lead to nothing good.

Points of Interest:

* The Forge of Gerick is the most notable point of interest within the UDC, although very dangerous, it is a forge deep in the mountains, said to sit right below the center of the volcano along the cold shoulder. It is said this Forge was created by Gerick himself for his worshippers to use, and is a holy site to Gerick. The Forge itself is off limits to use by anyone not given permission by the UDC and is guarded at all times. *The Underdark Entrance* is the second most notable point of interested within the UDC, a giant circular permitter around the now ruined city of Negbolder, has been constructed, with various encampments along its edges. This is manned by a majority of the United Militias forces, to hold back the waves of creatures from the Underdark that have begun spilling up and out of ruined city since its destruction.
