The Hills have Dwarfs

Founding

After the civil war, the house of Berg had to settle on the main land. To all other dwarfs they were seen without honor, and were not worthy to carry the mountain, but their house was not erased from the memories due to the treacherous crime of burning the memories. To those that remained under the mountain, all remaining history must be preserved. Those that no longer carried the mountain had to find a new home.

Due to their failed war efforts, the house of Berg was already familiar with Northern Idwala. They knew the badlands were too hostile to colonize due to the territorial indigenous wildlife. They also bore there shame and wished to be isolated from the other races. They went west and laid the foundation for Haufsberg, Capital of the Hill Dwarfs.
