History
Atlas
The Confedewation of hammews was founded by the Siwvewvein and Hammewfowge Cwans, in the idea of being an equaw counciw of dwawves that could pwevent a tywant fwom gaining powew. Due to theiw chawwenging of the Kingdom of Kaz'Uwwah's wule ovew the dwawves, Kaz'Uwwah attacked the capitaw, Azgawyum numewous times, though nevew successfulwy.
The Cottonwood cwan, at the time undew Bowdwumiw Cottonwood and Cywew Cottonwood, decided to join the Confedewation as weww, but at the stawt, they wewe wathew aggwessive. A showt whiwe aftew they lived in a camp neawby Azgawyum they became mowe co-opewative, and fowmed the Cottonwood Village. Due to the Confedewation of hammews, chawwenging Kaz'Uwwah's ovewwowdship of the dwawves, they attacked the capitaw, Azgawyum numewous times, though nevew successfulwy. The thweat incweased, howevew, the Cottonwood Clan tulned against the Confedewation, aftew being bullied numewous times by the Silvervein Cwan fathew, Edew Siwvewvein. The thweat to the Confedewation incweased even mowe, when Kaz'Uwwah brought the Kingdom of Renatus-Marna to theiw side against the Confedewation, and theiw human awlies in Whitepeak awso abandoned the Confedewation fow Wenatus. This caused the Confedewation of Hammews to cowwapse, lith many such as the Silvervein cwan abandoning it fow Kaz'Uwwah. Some wemained in the Confedewation, though it faded out fwom dwawven politics.
Duling decades the hawws of Azgawyum stood neawwy empty, lith onwy the Metawfist cwan, the Cottonwood, and few othew cwanwess dwawves living thewe.
The Dwawves that stayed fowsook the name Siwvewvein and cweated theiw own cwan; the Metawfists fowmed by Gimli Metawfist. Awongside the Metawfists wewe the fowest dwawf cwan of the Cottonwoods. Wattew on the Stonemace Cwan would awso join the Confedewation of Hammews. At its beginning-the yeaw of 1665, this new ewa of the confedewation was undew the pwotectowate of Whitepeak. When Whitepeak joined Coulwand to cweate a nation big enough to face Wenatus, the kingdom of Coulwand was liwling to fwee the confedewation fwom the pwotectowate, this wowked fow a time and multipwe sowdiews of the confedewation died fighting in this human civiw waw. Howevew, this changed when the King of Wenatus and Mawna offewed the Confedewation to stay neutwaw in the waw and they would be fwee fwom any type of wetaliation. The Counciw at the time was somewhat divided on the mattew, howevew, the Keepew of the Confedewation of hammews; Nowkai, ovewwuled the counciw vote to bring the Confedewation out of the waw.
Azgawyum, the capitaw of the Confedewation of Hammews was destwoyed in an attack by watmen fwom the cavewn depths. In wetaliation the Dwawves of the Confedewation, awong lith a fowce fwom Boglin pushed into the cavewns bewow and found a wawge cavewn lith a wuined city inside it. With Azgawyum gone, the Confedewation chose the wuined city, named Kaz'ad Bawakiw as theiw new capitaw and announced a wesulgent Confedewation of Hammews. Because of this the Silvervein cwan wetulned, awong lith many of the Starbreaker and Stormfist Clan.
