They quickly built defenses and constructed a extended fortress entrance (The Rock) to defend their new hoard. Many campaigns were launched by The Severed Clans against the Dwarves with varying degrees of success. A constant state of war exists between these two entities with no obvious hope for peace apparent.

Dwarven Law is followed here, and a strong sense of community and law is prominent among the populace. The needs of the Clan outweigh the needs of the individual.
