Knardon

"Why are you heading to Knardon? To sell your wares or because it's in the way of your destination? Good. If you stay too long you'll see what it's really like for the poor souls living in the dirt left behind by the slightly more fortunate poor souls and so on until you get to the King".

Capital: Ormar

Racial Makeup: Above and below the mountains of Knardon live the Dwarves. The Dwarves seldom leave and there is little reason for others to move to Knardon, despite this however you do often see Gnomish and Human travellers making a stop in Knardon. Golem slaves live here too but it is hard to get an estimation on their numbers.

Legality of Spellcasting: Highly regulated, licensed spellcasters receive a ring that tracks the spells that are cast. Necromancy and offensive magic is illegal and anyone caught practicing it are normally executed on sight (for the former anyway, the latter are normally detained for a day or two). The Circle have a strong presence here. Should someone be caught casting without a ring (licensed or not) they will be detained unless a replacement ring can be found. Clerics and Paladins are exempt from these laws.

Demonym: Knardoni

Government: Totallitarian Autocracy

Leader: King Korfak Goldhelm, a Dwarf who rules with an iron fist. He believes in maintaining the strict caste system as he believes that it is the only way a kingdom can properly function, he also believes his kingdom to be superior for enforcing such a system. It is well known that his daughter Narri opposes his views however she no longer speaks out since her younger brother mysteriously went missing.

Patron Deities: The Dwarves worship Moradin as their chief Deity for the guidance he gives to create their works of mastery. Surprisingly the Dwarves are known to revere Ki for the gift of materials that they can craft from. Due to the rigid and lawful structure of Knardon many Dwarves will devote themselves to Tyr for guidance. They do not favour a specific Pantheon and instead, embrace the individual Gods that they favour.
