Bela'Dor

Bela'Dor is Dwarven kingdom in the Storm Peak Mountains. The capital city is Bela'Dor and is ruled by Bela'Dor V.

The Capital
The mountain dwarf clans control much of the capital city and constantly vie for power. The clans keep long records of grudges. These grudges can then be brought before the king for justice. Because only clan members can be brought before the king, grudges against clan-less dwarves find the dwarf guilty.

Bela'Dor has a long and bloody history with the people of the Highlands with grudges dating back to the ending of the War of Ravens and see themselves and the protectors of the Lowlands.

The lords and nobles are followers of Odin and his ideology can be found through out dwarf society, but their is also a large following of Hephaestus. Much of the goods crafted created in Bela'Dor bare the mark of Hephaestus.

There are very few non-dwarves that live inside the Capital.

The Hills
In the hills surrounding Bela'Dor to the west things are a lot calmer. The dwarf clans politics don't reach past the capital's walls and mean of the inhabitants want to keep it that way.

The population is evenly distributed between dwarfs, halflings and gnomes with a sprinkling of the taller folk.
