Kalruuthian

I'm Kalruuthian not Falduhn!
— A Kalruuthian Dwarfkind
  The Kalruuthian are people from the Dwarven Mountainhome of Duun'Kalruuth, which sits beneath Mount Kalruuth within the Highlands of Brostia.   Kalruuthians are renowned across Atharia for the exotic goods they produce and trade with the Queendom of Brostia and the other realms of Atharia. In particular, Kalruuthians boast that their bacon is the best bacon.  

Living in a Mountain

Within Duun'Kalruuth are roughly over 70,000 Kalruuthians with countless across Atharia. They are mostly Dwarvenkind, however many Elfkind and Humankind claim they are Kalruuthians too.  

Effects Underground

A common trait for those who dwell within Mountainhomes is their skin is often pale, but Kalruuthian's skin complexion is paler than most. Many mountainhomes are based along the edge of mountains so their citizens can enjoy time in the sun. However, Duun'Kalruuth is the only mountainhome which is fully submerged within a mountain. Kalruuthians will need to trek through the various Ancient Dwarven Tunnels to bask in the glorious Atharian sunshine.
