Dunhall Principality
The principality is ruled by Grand Duke Durnik von Ironvein, a mixed blood between a human mother and a dwarf father, whose family has guarded Khordrath and its forges for generations. He's broad-shouldered, silver-bearded, and known for a measured temperament that can turn unyielding when someone threatens Dunhall's independence.
Durnik stands as tall as an ordinary human, but his build is unmistakably dwarven: broad through the shoulders, thick with muscle, and solid as a carved pillar. As Grand Duke of Dunhall, he carries authority, but he doesn't rule alone.
The great dwarven guilds hold considerable power, each overseeing its own craft, trade, or territory. Durnik must preserve their trust as carefully as he maintains Dunhall's treaties with the other human kingdoms.
The guildmasters may disagree fiercely, yet they share one conviction: Dunhall's knowledge and resources must never be treated as possessions that outsiders can simply purchase.
