The Dwarven Realm of Ghrimmstone

The Dwarven Realm of Ghrimmstone lies within and below the imposing Rakkor Mountain range that runs the length of the western edge of the Continent of Ascentia. The Dwarves have proven themselves as a hardy, honorable people, living in rough, unforgiving terrains and managing to thrive in areas where some other races dare not even tread. Dwelling both upon the surface of the mountains, living in rugged, relatively small settlements, or deep within the endless mines and caverns, in structurally monumental cities they have cut from the heart of the Rakkor mountains, the Nation of Ghrimmstone sits upon a wealth of minable resources buried deep within the mountains, resources the Dwarves have become exceedingly proficient at accessing and refining.

The Realm's capital city, Dragon Reach, is rumored to house more than fifteen thousand dwarves, and has long held as the nation's strong hold in times of war. Unfortunately, the Nation faces a problem that has put a heavy demand upon even their resilient natures. The Rakkor Mountains are also home to a large population of dragons, which have been pressing upon the Dwarven resources as their numbers surge and the battle for food and space strays into their borders. Open trade and friendly relations exist between the Kingdom of Delmar and the Realm of Ghrimmstone, allowing for highly refined metals to be accessed by humankind, and coveted building and crafting materials to be offered in trade to the Dwarves. There has been rumors rising in recent memory, of a new dark plague rising from the bowels of the deepest mines in Ghrimmstone.
