Ghalim

The second largest dwarven city after Strakelgar, Ghalim is located under Bloodstone Mountains. The Ghalim dwarves use to trade with Marish until the cataclysm. Now, their main trading partner is the free city of Libertas. From time to time, the Ghalim dwarves come into conflict with the vile drow of Xa'haris.

Government

Ghalim has a monarchy with the current ruler being King Thal Dragonbane, famous for slaying a red dragon, Marizdun, nearly a century ago. The son of the king is Prince Thalan.
