Varia, Dwarven Kingdom

Varia- a small dwarven kingdom in the Central Vale mountains, it is nestled in valleys of natural beauty and boasts abundant resources. The dwarves of the mountain holds of Varia are a wealthy and well-isolated people, and they have decent relations with the outside world, especially for dwarves.

Varian dwarves, despite their isolation, are known the world over for their heraldry and warrior traditions, as well as their contributions to the arts and world culture, mainly through musicians and philosophical thinkers. Varia exports some of the finest beer in the world, and they allow foreigners to visit the foothill villages of the mountains and trade for goods, but rarely are foreigners allowed deeper into the mountain fortresses.
