Dwarf Kingdom

Dwarf Kingdom (ドワーフの王国) is a nation of dwarves that lies in the earthen halls of the Azerlisia Mountains.

Background
The history of the Dwarf Kingdom started around two hundred years ago in the era of the Thirteen Heroes. Its founder was known as the Magic Craftsman.

Their nation consists of various underground cities in which they have build and spread all around the underground caverns of the mountains, each connected by a series of cave networks.

The inhabitants of the Dwarf Kingdom are always in conflict with the Azerlisia Mountains' other inhabitants, the mole-like demi-humans known as Quagoa.

Culture
The dwarves prefer to live in the underground caverns of the mountains and practice their craftsmanship. They don't seem to mind interacting with both human and demi-humans as they have formed trade relationships with the people of the Baharuth Empire and have interacted with the lizardmen of the Great Lake.

All dwarves love alcohol and most dwarves would spend a large portion of their wages to purchase it and even carry small flasks with them to work to take regular sips even if it is prohibited and is usually tolerated regardless.

All mines within the Kingdom are nationalized meaning that any mineral excavated from these mines, by law that person has to make a payment to the government in order to keep it. However, it does not apply to any minerals excavated in abandoned mines and tunnels.

Politics
Aside from establishing a few trading relations with their neighboring countries, as a nation they seem to be very isolated that very few outsiders even know where the exact location of their country is positioned. This is not due to any form of bad reputations or self-imposed isolation. it is just they are content with how things are and are not usually interested in matters that does concern or involve their country.

Foreign Relations
The Dwarf Kingdom barely registers on the map, however the Kingdom's runesmiths are hailed as skilled craftsmen.

Baharuth Empire
While slavery of non-humans is a common practice within the Baharuth Empire, all dwarves whom find themselves in the Baharuth Empire are exempted from this rule due to the strong trade relationship between the Dwarf Kingdom and the Empire. However even among the elites very few people known the exact location of the country or anything about their culture. Interaction with them is usually restircted to occasional trade deals.
