History of the Dwari

The creation of the first five clans, the Forgebound, the Engineers Guild, the School of Mages, the Brewers of the Golden Hearth, and the Gunpowder Forgers.

The migration of the Dwari to discover new land with greater natural resources. On this journey the Dwari would discover the Isles of Glakrud and Tillanar.

The bulk of the engineering guild would rebel during this time because of Hendrin's wish to spread Dwari technology to humanity. Began when the human emissary brought back from the migration is killed by a riled mob led by Cong Lin.

Upon the completion of the palace, Krarg would marry his lover whom he met in battle during the rebellion, Melad.

Upon the continent being mapped, Dwari engineers begin to create plans to reconstruct the dams that once prevented the flooding for ancient Dwari civilization. These plans are eventually put forward by Krarg and would result in a seawall that protects the entire sulfuric flats and surrounding area from flooding during tidefall.

Just a year after becoming king, Gruk receives a letter from his sister telling of growing tensions in Tillanar and the increasingly loud cries to leave the Red Pact. In response to this, Gruk puts all of the resources of the Forgebound, Gunpowder Forgers, and Warriors of the Fallen Sun into producing a massive navy over a period of three years. During this time of massive military spending, Gruk would acquire the title of "the paranoid".

Upon the war's fourth year, and the continued death of soldiers sent out to Tillanar, along with the harm to the populace done by focusing on such military spending only, a movement to end the war begins among the Dwari of Kolvulanuk. This movement is headed by Hera Warmblood, the leader of the Brewers of the Golden Hearth and wife of the high king. This would lead to Gruk immediately divorcing her, something that was rarely done in Dwari culture, and frowned upon by all. Kostrim would also choose to go with his mother, leaving his father alone without a loyal heir or wife.

With King's Day now come, Kostrim can officially be made king and have all the powers such a thing grants. Though his father had left the throne, he was still technically king until this day.

With the Kolkaklan seawall now complete, Kostrim orders construction of sulfur farms across the now (relatively) dry sulfuric flats to provide sulfur for the Gunpowder Forgers to increase production.

Thungri had been widely worshipped by almost all of Dwari society, but never truly supported by the crown. In wake of his father's unpopularity, Kostrim would create the Church of Thungri to please the people, giving it the same powers as one of the many clans, allowing it a place in the hall of the clans.

The Gunpowder Forgers enter open rebellion against the king, and put up an incredibly good fight. The area surrounding Gukpo-Klak in quickly fortified, allowing the Forgers to hold out long enough to starve the King's forces of ammunition, as without them to provide new ammo and gunpowder, the Warriors of the Fallen Sun had no way of getting ammo. So, a long and bloody siege would ensue, with the goal being to starve out the Forgers, bringing them into submission. However, the Gunpowder Forgers had planned for this, and had already built basic infrastructure for necessary resources within Gukpo-Klak, so that the Forgers wouldn't have to rely on any other hold for necessities. This siege ended up being unsuccessful, and after simply ignoring the issue for years, the then leader of the School of Magic and Engineering would propose opening sections of the dams, flooding Gukpo-Klak, and winning the war. Irik knew of the lives that would be lost in the flooding, but decided it was the best way to end the war and so he proceeded with the plan.

In the wake of the Gunpowder rebellion, High King Irik decides that he needs to maintain his control over the clans through means other than threats. The rebellion made it apparent that a clan can rebel not be immediately crushed, after all, the rebellion was really a loss for both sides, not just the Gunpowder Forgers. Irik believes that the clans will see this and believe that if they all rebel simultaneously, that they have a chance of winning. In order to prevent further fighting with the clans, Irik decides to submit even his own power in the creation of a new council of clan personnel meant to be a counterbalance to the power of the king. Hopefully, Irik believed, this council would allow the kings to more easily manage and discuss legislature with the clans, while also allowing the clans to keep the High King from running rampant with power.
