				Stonehold

	An old Dwarven city, Stonehold was here before even the Alliance. 
They have existed without interference from the outside world for 
centuries, and have made a strong alliance with the Kingdom if for no 
other reason than it suddenly found itself within the Kingdom's borders 
one day, and they don't show any signs of leaving. However, for the 
most part, Stonehold is left alone and traded with as a sovereign 
entity - when they open their doors. But since the founding of the 
Western Kingdom (officially at Throne), the doors have come open only 
once, and that was for an envoy from the Church to enter and speak to 
the dwarvish king. Since then, the only nation who claims to have 
regular contact with those inside of stonehold are the gnomes in 
Breech. For more information, see the section on the “Dwarvish Clans” 
political area.
