Skyspear Mountain
Khaz Glittrum Kadrel , also commonly known as Nogrod or Skyspear Mountain, was an semi-underground kingdom It was known for being the ancient realm of the Dwarves of Drudár's Folk. It was the greatest kingdom ever built by the Dwarves.
History
Clan Stonefoot discovered the mineral wealth of Skyspear Mountain and the colony became the ancestral home of the Mountain King. By AC 6599, it had become a Dwarven stronghold, where the Dwarves became a numerous and prosperous people. In this time, they became very rich and amassed a large amount of gold and treasure which included the Dwarven Thrower known as Brimstone. Gorek I used the Brimstone as a symbol of his rule, and his sons and grandsons under him who were to follow.
For two-hundred and eleven years the kingdom advanced, expanded, prospered, and endured until Gorek I abandoned it to join his kin in the Iron Hills, and the Lonely Mountain was abandoned for three-hundred and eighty years. However, the Dwarves of the Deephome Mountains began receiving attacks from the dragons that still lived in those mountains, and became embroiled in a costly war against them, which forced the Dwarves to abandon the Iron Hills in AC 2597. They went their separate ways: Brondár and his followers settled in the Iron Hills, and Drundár with his followers went to the Skyspear Mountain.
While Doruk Stonefoot was out hunting one day, Cabysmathan flew in from the Southern mountains and attacked the city. Cabysmathan made the mountain his domain and hoarded the kingdom's wealth for himself. For many years thereafter the Dwarves lived in exile in the Deephome Mountains
