[*] Like every dwarven nation, Nelgarlun finds monetary solace in its massive mining operation. Iron ore, copper, silver, gold, rubies, sapphires, coal, and whatever else they can dig up from under the mountain. The single city of Namdarum in this nation is built like a water droplet, the larger portion descending deep under the mountain while the point delves even deeper as it grows while the dwarves mine. Weapons and armor of all shapes and sizes are constantly pouring out of the mountain, mainly to Nivaria mainly for them to export the items further but of course, what is done with the items once they leave the mountain is no concern of the dwarves. While the dwarves are nearly entirely independent finding all the sustenance they require from the mountain, its main imports include only things in which are edible. The dwarves horde their gains in great vaults buried deep beneath the mountains. They toil day and night digging, looking for bigger veins of resources, larger gems, stronger metals. There is nothing that the inhabitants of this kingdom cannot be gifted from the mountain and little reliance do the dwarves put on the outside world.

[U]Relations[/U]
[List]
[*] If every other race had perished, leaving the Ein Sof inhabited only by dwarves - the dwarves would not miss any of them at all. They might even say that Ein Sof had just before a better place. The dwarves of the Gold Mountain have as little interaction with the outside world as they possibly can. Any interaction they do have is centered around the trade industry they maintain with the outside world. While they may not necessarily despise other races or the world beyond their mountain dwellings, few dwarves find the means to trust the outside world with anything more than an old loaf of bread. Militarily the dwarves are not in open conflict with anyone although through their upbringing the dwarves of the Gold Mountains are ready to fight at a moment's notice. Shrouded in mystery from the outside world, those surrounding the mountain while intrigued by its rocky crags and peaks are weary to travel about its rocky trails. Most commoners may be aware of the dwarves existence, few humans of the surface world have any interaction with a dwarf. Most people go their whole lives without even seeing a dwarf outside of books or drawings.

[*] While mysterious, the dwarves have always been known to be innovative in both warfare as well as feats of engineering. As with typical fantasy dwarf settings, their civilization is filled with large gears, water pumps, elevators and great furnaces. While there are many guarded tunnels into and out of the city, the settlement is built with the more upper echelon homes moving up towards the peaks of the mountains while the lower income houses are mined from the stone as they delve deeper and deeper into the crust of Ein Sof.
