Darnia
The large and expansive dwarven kingdom of Northwest Vesax. While it was considered the powerhouse of mining and mineral resources for ages, dating back to the Orstad empire, in the last two centuries the kingdom has suffered a loss of resources in the mines resulting in much of the political power and influence the kingdom once had been lost. Many of the dwarven citizens have been forced to move to Mondlicht and work in the mines, many believe this to be the ultimate insult.
To seemingly make things worse, the dwarven people are torn on whether to search for new ways to live and give up on the past or to honour what they have always done. This argument was only amplified when the last king Theldar Kardek stepped down after a group of rebels attacked his family 5 years ago. Since then, the noble senate has been unable to decide on a new king.

Structure
Like most locations in Vesax, Darnia is a monarchy. Outside the dwarven cities are a number of gnomish cities and towns that answer to dwarven laws but often have smaller political groups on a local level.
Assets
While Darnia was once known for the vast amounts of metals and minerals it has run out of these resources and has now become nothing more than a labour force for other, wealthier countries.
Demography and Population
The vast majority of Darnia is populated by dwarves, both in the underground cities and the surface towns.
The rest of the population is made up mostly of Gnomes with the occasional earth Gensai.

Military
While the military has suffered due to the loss of revenue, they are still formidable due to the almost zealot like loyalty they have to the throne.
It's also one of only a small number of groups with an air force thanks to the gnomish airships that dot the skies above Darnia.

Agriculture & Industry
Darnia is desperately searching for a new resource to trade in since metals are becoming scarcer by the day. Currently, the most they can offer is labour for other countries.
The only group that still does well are the gnomes as they tend to trade in tech and inventions with Ennesland.

Infrastructure
Once upon a time, the halls of the Dwarven cities were coated in gold and platinum and the rivers ran with molten steel. Now the stone has been exposed as they were forced to tear down the monuments in desperation for the metals that made them.

Currency
While Darnia follows the common currency system, they also have what they call Darnia Electrum. These coins are used as a marker of importance, traders, basic citizens, just about anyone can use these to become temporary nobility. For each coin you carry, you are considered noble for that many days. Exceeding more than 1000 coins makes you a permanent member of the nobility.
Legislative Body
While the King writes most laws, they must first pass through a dwarven senate made up of members of the nobility.
