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.
