	The current ruler, [[Drogan Ironheart III]], has concentrated much of his reign on internal reform. Imperial funds have been used to improve roads, bridges and aqueducts, while a system of public education has expanded access to literacy and basic mathematics. These projects have improved trade and the living conditions of many common dwarves, but Drogan's preference for negotiation and gradual reform has also angered officials who want a more aggressive policy abroad.

			Kurn Daruhm is currently involved in another war, during which the [[Dominion of Ordanis]] sent forces in support of the empire. As part of that cooperation, [[Bhornholdir]] was placed under Dominion administration and used as a bastion. Dominion soldiers and officials have since withdrawn, and the city has returned to direct Kurn Daruhm control. The wider partnership between the empire and Ordanis continues.

	The Imperial Army is organised around heavily armoured infantry. Ordinary footmen fight with shields, swords, axes and hammers, and are trained to hold formation in confined tunnels as well as on open ground. Their armour and discipline make them difficult to dislodge, but dwarven armies are generally slower than those which rely on large numbers of light troops or horses.

	Family, clan and ancestry remain central to dwarven society. A dwarf's clan often influences their trade, political connections and place within the local community. Promises and agreements are taken seriously, while betrayal of one's family or allies is considered a grave offence. Dwarven celebrations commonly include large meals, strong drink, drums, horns and stories concerning the deeds of ancestors and heroes.		Family, clan and ancestry remain central to dwarven society. A dwarf's clan often influences their trade, political connections and place within the local community. Promises and agreements are taken seriously, while betrayal of one's family or allies is considered a grave offence. Dwarven celebrations commonly include large meals, strong drink, drums, horns and stories concerning the deeds of ancestors and heroes.

			Kurn Daruhm was founded about 1,600 years before the present, when [[Durgadd Fireblessed]] united the largest dwarven settlements through conquest and alliance. He founded [[Mal Darum]] on a central plateau so the new capital would belong to the whole realm instead of one older clan. His son [[Doramin]] later established the first common laws and gave the empire a government which could continue after the wars of unification.

	Kurn Daruhm is ruled as a hereditary monarchy, although much of its daily administration is handled by governors, city councils and influential clans. The empire's wealth comes mainly from mining, smithing, agriculture and clockwork engineering. Its military reflects the same strengths, relying on heavily armoured infantry, crossbowmen, siege engineers and mages trained in the use of fire.
