Kal'Darakaan is the capital of the current Dwarven Nation, Grand Kingdom of Urguan, and the sole Dwarven location in all of Almaris. It was inhabited by Grand King Jorvin Starbreaker when the descendants first arrived to Almaris.
History
Kal’Darakaan, or “the City of the Ancient Might,” is a subterranean dwarven metropolis that serves as the capital of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan.
Being the largest and only Dwarven hub on Almaris, the city is a staple for dwarven culture, craftsmanship, and religion. Within the capital city, travelers can expect to find multiple clan halls, housing districts, a bustling market, a Brathmordakin temple, Grand Arena, and large area for craftsmen to hone their skills. Unknown to many is the city's origins, as the modern Dwarves of Urguan were not the ones to construct the city. Through the investigation of clues left behind, many believe the city to have been a colony of the ancient Dwarves, hence its name of ‘Ancient Might’.
Goverment
Kal'Darakaan is ran by the Grand King and a Senate of representatives of the main clans of Urguan. The Senate is the main body of the government that runs the day to day of the Kingdom (and needs to approve with a 50% majority most of the King's decisions.) The Senate also elects a Lord Chancellor, who helps guide the Senate and works closely with the King. Overall, the government within Kal'Darakaan and in turn the rest of the Kingdom adhere to the Articles of Urguan[1]. The ever changing, yet balanced, series of documents and rules that dictate the way of how the Kingdom is ran.
Culture
Religion
The religion of Kal'Darakaan is the Dwarven religion of The Brathmordakin. In Kal'Varoth there is a temple to The Brathmordakin, and its the main residence of the Clergy.
A powerful guild known as The Legion of Mercy acts as the militant branch of the dwarven clergy, enforcing and defending the will of the Brathmordakin through more militaristic means.
