Dwarven League

Common nation of all Dwarves, known for popping up many magical and technological wonders from the ground. To those who rule over it, an “ideal meritocracy” that “promotes progress and advancement beyond the times”. To those crushed beneath it, a “stifling bureaucracy” that “strangles any hope of advancement.” Its well developed policies, long-standing stability, and unique and useful tools have made it one of the primary bases of the Diver’s Guild, despite much of the upper-echelon of the League spending all their time deep within their Mountain homes.  

Dwarven Council

The Dwarven League is governed by a Council dominated by 13 clans that can be further divided into 3 major factions headed by the 3 chief clans of the most dominant mountain ranges: The H'ruzin (Mountain Shadow clan) in the Tiansháng Peaks (Heavenly Peaks) and Ubarz Abad(Gold Mountain), the Sab'rhirk (Brilliant Flaw clan) of the Shattered Spine, and the Khishulbiz (Home Forge clan) of the Risrithîn Heights (Burning Heights).   Other 10 minor clans are divided in who they support:
