Kingdom of Rugar

Race/Race Description: The people of Rugar are akin to dwarves for the most part. When Rugar first carved out his kingdom the battle was fierce and bloody and too few dwarves remained so now their blood is diluted with that of humans, they remain quite stocky and rarely reach much past five feet. They still live much longer lives most citizens can expect to live to 150 or so while Rugar himself a pure-blood lived to be 234. 

Culture: The culture of Rugar remains very dwarven many of the people live in the underground cities. Toiling away all day enjoying some good ale afterwards, there is little conflict amongst them all work for the betterment of each other and Rugar as a whole. There is of course the plainsfolk who are not viewed much differently but they do have less dwarven blood and tendencies therefore greed is somewhat of a problem. Those few who capitalised on the Kingdoms' rise became traders and eventually founded the Trader's Guild an organisation separate from the king who travel the world bring in goods and gold in turn exporting the Kingdoms' resources.

Technology (Short, at the most 3 paragraphs):

History: The Kingdom of Rugar was founded three centuries ago born from the wreckage of a forgotten empire, when dwarven rebels banded together and overthrew their human masters. They were led by a man named Rugar a renowned smith who was the first to draw blood, killing the former emperor with the very axe he was to present to the emperor. Afterwards he escaped into the mountains and slowly but surely rallied the dwarven people to rebellion. After a long drawn out war they reclaimed the mountains and the plains surrounding them. 

Over time they integrated with the broken empire of man with no one left to lead they bet the knee to Rugar. As a fairly simple people they named their new kingdom after him raising the war hero to the mantle of king. The dwarves were left with little choice but to breed with the human populace of the plains. Only a small core of nobles can claim a pure dwarven blood these days leading to some divide between them and the general people.

In three hundred years the people of Rugar have come a long way, they moved back into their mines and became one of the great economical forces of this world the mineral, precious metal and gems of the finest quality. With the ingenuity of man and the backbone of dwarves some few became inventors of all sorts of marvels. 

Deep within the mountains they found rocks imbued with a mystical power which is perhaps their most prized resource. The unassuming rock with purple veins dubbed Ether by its discoverer, what it is exactly is not known. It was eventually found after much that this Ether could power many devices giving rise to the modern Kingdom known today.

Important Characters

Alta Al'Rugar, Queen of the Mountains and All that Lies Beneath.

Race: Pure-blood Dwarf (So we are told to say otherwise would be death)
Appearance: 

Backstory: Alta was born to Galin Al'Rugar, Rugars' eldest son and late monarch of the Kingdom. Alta was never expected to rule and so was kept apart from the court. It was expected he would have a male heir before the end of his rule being just shy of a 130 when he died suddenly in the night. The Kingdom spent a while in turmoil and it looked certain to be civil war. Fortunately Alta's uncle and Rugar's third and youngest son General Garrick Al'Rugar brought her to the capital from his would-be home of Astagar unwilling to rule himself but offering to guide her. 

Alta despite not having been brought up in the captial was well-versed in the nations politics due to countless hours spent with tutors and eventually the nobility accepted her as Queen at least on the surface.

Other: Generally dwarven last names are that of their sire but due to being royalty this was altered for the family.

General Garrick Al'Rugar, Warden of the Plains, Trollsbane, Castellan of Astagar (The former human captial)

His brother the former king tasked him to care for Alta in his home the king not wishing to have his daughter in the capital for reasons unknown.
