Dwarves colonize the Northern Crest

Founding

The earliest evidence of mountain colonization by the dwarves date back to this year. While it is not known exactly where the dwarves came from, they started colonizing the western side of the Northern Crest and, thanks to their innate affinity with working stone and metals, they quickly created the first settlements between the valleys and within the mountains themselves. To the later part of this year date the first buildings of Whitefist.

Some decades after their colonization of the mountains, the dwarves had already developed an early writing system that they used to narrate the events related to their newborn country. Not many documents can be traced back to the 900s btT, but some are still conserved in the most prestigious libraries of Whitefist or the neighboring valleys. Many of these writings refer to building construction or other city-projects, but a handful talk about the culture of these early settlers and of how they descended the western side of the mountains and started colonizing them.
