Darkhorn Kingdoms
The Darkhorn Kingdom Dwarves lie below the Duchy of Drakenburg. They are a strong supporter and active member of the Axe Alliance. The stronghold is in regular contact with Imther Stronghold in the Lunar Empire, often to seek guidance from the Powerful Seers, who work for and with the First Children.
The five large underground strongholds are connected by what seems to be hundreds of miles of 'tracked tunnels' which have enchanted earth carts that move down the mine tracks. The tunnels are regularly searched for the highly useful and valuable Onyx stalactites which form in the side caverns in an unnatural quickly. This is understood to be some form of symbiotic relationship with insects from the Atropine Insect nation.
The Hive Dwarves serve as the trading fort with the Atropine Insect creatures.
- Grand Clan Holding of the Earth Towers - rumoured to be skilled craftsmen of enchanted goods.
- Grand Clan Holding of the Flinthome - rumoured to be holders of the Hot sink deep Mines and enchanted mushroom lands.
- Onyx Clan Holding of Rockhome Holdings - known to be strong in magic and priests of a range of good temples.
The population of all three strongholds is said to be in excess of 300,000 Dwarves and ~50,000 Hobbits, Halflings and Tall fallows. These numbers are questionable and are fifth hand by way of traders.
