The Empire of Kurn Daruhm is a dwarven realm whose cities stretch from mountain mines and fortified plains to the coast of the Sea of Storms. Its people are commonly known as the Flameforged for their command of fire in craft, magic and war.
The empire is ruled from Mal Darum by Emperor Drogan Ironheart III. Although the emperor holds the final authority, much of the country is governed by provincial governors, city councils and powerful clans.
