Darkard

At a Glance

The dwarven society of the realm of Darkard is the most warrior like of all. Being under constant pressure from the orcs and other evil creatures living and lurking in the Great Ice Barrier, they tend in general to be a bit more aggressive and geared toward war. It is also the smallest and least populous dwarven nation because of it.

Births

Being almost constantly at war, the dwarves of Darkard have been a lot more active reproductively speaking, leading to a lot more births than in other realms. It is still a far cry from the reproductive rates of Humans, but it still surprises visiting dwarves.

Settlements

Their villages, towns and cities are built to defend its citizens and enable them to do their best work. This often means that in contrast to a lot of other dwarven realms, these settlements are not built to impress and showcase the talent of their crafters. They are still beautifully made, but in a more functional way. They simply do not have the energy to invest in frivolous expenses.

Treocs

All in all this dwarven realm is the one with the least amount of Treocs communities, because of how dangerous the Great Ice Barrier is. These are mostly in the south Darkard. This means that a lot of food consumed by the dwarven realm is traded for with the Sovereignty Severnyy.

Current Ruler

They currently have a queen at their head, Hjolnyl Goldmelter, known as The Ferocious (FR: Hjolnyl Orfondeur, dite La féroce). Before succeeding her cousin, she was at the head of army and responsible for many crushing attacks on various pockets of creatures of Ka.
