Gotrek Union Settlement Guide

Gotrek Union
	Welcome to the mountain realm of Gotrek, where innovation and tradition converge amid the towering peaks. Once known as the renowned industrial guild, Gotrek Industries, this land has transformed into a thriving city. Here, we've not only built our factories but an entire hold, embracing a fusion of craftsmanship, engineering, and ancient magics. At the heart of our society lies the Kindred Collective, a community forged by Dwarves, Stonekin Golems, and Ironkin Automatons. Each brings their unique skills, craftsmanship, and knowledge, creating a harmonious blend of the mechanical and mystical. While our work is shrouded in secrecy, our public face showcases a realm of advanced industry, pioneering engineering, and golemancy, where life takes on new forms. This realm's very existence is a testament to the ingenuity and dedication of its people. Come and explore the marvels hidden within the majestic mountains of Gotrek. • Current Leader: Ulfar Kazarathsson Starbreaker • Peak Times  Gotrek's population is well-distributed, thanks to its global player base spanning various timezones.
Leadership	The ruler of this hold bears the regal title of Kahl, presently held by Ulfar. Additionally, the governance structure includes the prestigious Kindred Conclave, comprising council members in charge of overseeing specific aspects of the hold's administration.
Religion	The Brathmordakin, a group of seven deities revered by the dwarven race, serve as central figures in dwarven faith. Dwarves hold the Brathmordakin in high regard for two primary reasons: finding their life's purpose and securing rewards in the afterlife. To dwarves, they believe they were meticulously created as instruments by Yemekar to maintain the balance of his creation. Therefore, dwarves are expected to dedicate their lives to this noble goal, often choosing a patron Brathmordakin along the way, thereby fulfilling their mission of preserving Yemekar's balance in various aspects of the world's creation. As a token of appreciation for their lifelong service, when a dwarf passes away, their actions are assessed by the Brathmordakin in the afterlife. Based on these actions, they are rewarded by their chosen patron deity, ensuring their journey beyond this life is equally purposeful.
