League of Dernrim

The League of Dernrim as said in its name is an organisation in the Stone Dwarven city of Dernrim on the continent of Vrigora in the region named Dhamtarum, they are a mercantile guild and religious organisation following the Dwarven deity of Heshurr (the God of Wealth and the mine) they are the largest organisation on the continent sporting the support of their many "Franchises".

The Founding of the League of Dernrim:

The League was founded by a Gold caste member named Thokam Bronzehorn who with the help of a benefactor named Thelrum Sterngift founded the organisation under the principles of mass trade utilising the vast river network created by the River Drapnos that connects Dernrim to the east of the region and to the highly profitable lake known as the Marato Basin. sealife here remained largely untouched save the small fishing villages around the Basin, Thelrum gave Thokam 2 ideas 1. to speak to a rival organisation named the Cognis Group who trade in Genetic modification (among other things) he suggested they would for the right price modify a fish of our choosing to become larger, reproduce quicker and taste better than the competition in the basin and 2. is to introduce and chemical compound to the basin that is harmful towards the sealife there, once they have been quelled we can then introduce our genetically modified fish which holds and immunity to this compound meaning the Basin would soon be overcrowded with our fish and thus Profit!

The Coginos Group asked in return for the modified fish they are given 5% of the total fishery profits and some... Unique specimens that would be useful for the research that Cognis is currently conducting, this is a small price to pay for a large amount of profit generated for the League. The league would, later on, go on to expand to reach the edges of their regional borders and make and produce unique products that they would sell in their Franchises for profit above all.

The Military of the League:

The League sports the largest "Military" in Vrigora meaning they are of sufficient threat to other organisations in the many corporate wars that have taken place over the history of the Stone Dwarves' founding these ranged from Minor to Major conflicts where border towns were taken and regained these battles usually last around 3-4 weeks and due to the Stone Dwarves distaste for military, most of these battles/war we're fought not by men, but by whoever has the largest purse. The league's "military" mostly consists of mercenaries who are under constant employ and do the fighting and defending for the league.

The League, however, has their own Home defence force named the Dernrim Legionnaires their leader is Margywn Loudstand, she and her legionnaires act as counter-intelligence agents and enforcers of newly acquired territory and those in the Leagues territory that don't see eye to eye, the reason the League needs such a large counter-intelligence force is that they share a border with the surreptitious Disciples of Thuul, they specialise in espionage and de-stabilisation of governmental bodies the legionnaires are there to prevent this from happening.

Due to the League having multiple different armed forces in operation at once, there are usually internal conflicts between them, in a constant fight to gain more influence and supplies from Dernrim, the Disciples use this to their advantage and try and fracture the legionnaires in their upper echelons, this has been successful before when the Legionnaires where just the humble city guards of Dernrim a small scale civil war took place inside the city itself, causing Dernrim to withdraw troops from the border and leave only a sub-standard border guard to protect, this, however, proved useless and the disciples took advantage of this and took over some of the fisheries and towns along the border, some of which are still in the hands of the Disciples.
