For all their history the Dwarfs have dwelled in halls under the earth, carving out a large subterranean empire beneath the feet of the surface peoples who remain largely ignorant of the true extent of the Dwarfs’ realm.

This ambitious attitude runs the Abercarri afoul of the [[Basileans]] with whom they share a northern border. Where previously the Abercarri and Basileans peacefully coexisted, many dwarf masons having built Basilea’s southern cities, Golloch’s ambition has driven the two into conflict. Basilea even controls the ruins of Abercarr’s old capital, [[Diffeth|Difetth]]. Furthermore, Basilea’s ports are the only trade route open for the dwarfs to sell their goods to the rest of the world. The two nations continually butt heads over these two issues, coming to blows often. King Golloch has supposedly drunkenly sworn to topple the Basilean City of the [[Golden Horn]].

Unfortunately for Basilea, a dwarf keeps his promises. Though the [[elves]] may have the longest lives, the dwarfs have the longest memories. They will call upon contracts and alliances made a thousand years ago and expect them to be honoured. To a dwarf an oath is an oath, whether made drunk or sober.

Line 72: Line 49:
Thankfully, not all dwarfs follow King Golloch. Under the [[Halpi Mountains]] lies the dwarfen Freeholds, who owe no allegiance to Abercarr. The [[Free Dwarfs|Free]] and Imperial dwarfs only communicate over the Great Cataract, a vast waterfall that can only be cross via ferries pulled by a great chain. They meet at [[Culloch Mor]], a tree-cloaked rock with an altar of unknown origin at the centre of the falls. Other than this one neutral ground, the two groups keep away from each other. The [[Free Dwarfs]] have enough to trouble them in the north with the Abyss and their corrupted brethren. Still they worry that when Golloch tires of his feud with the Basileans, he will turn his hungry eye northward. For in a world where nations have splintered and fallen to infighting, the Abercarri Empire is on the rise.

Imperial Dwarfs is another term for the [[Dwarfs]] of the [[Golloch Empire]], separate from the [[Free Dwarfs]], both of these factions fight against the Fallen Ones, the [[Abyssal Dwarfs]].
