After weeks of hard work, the mountain was hallowed out and the emerald crystal of Kal'Krest was discovered and gifted to Magnus Blackfist by his clansmen. Wanting for all to see the great emerald, Magnus had his stonemason's build it into the top of his throne which would become known as the Emerald Throne of Kal'Krest. After the central hold was complete, the hardworking Blackfists got to work on the area outside of the keep. They created some outer defenses, a farm and a few hovels for any farmers that wished to reside up here and farm the more snow-resistant crops of Vailor.

After the construction of Kal'Krest was complete, it's population began to swell as Dwarves in general began moving out of the capital and towards the Kazulran mountains en-mass. Some settled in [[Tal'Azwyr]] whilst others chose to live in Kal'Krest. As a result of this surge of people, the council of Kal'Krest needed to offer the new citizens jobs. Magnus acted quickly and established the Blackfist Company, a mercenary group that employed artisans and warriors alike. The group was the main source of income for many who resided in the town and was also a relatively strong force due to the experience of many in it.

After Skippy Irongut's victory in the [[Election of 1518]], the [[Blackfist|Blackfist Clan]] decided to separate from the Grand Kingdom of Urguan and join forces with their distant relatives; the [[Frostbeard|Frostbeards]] and their leader [[Verthaik Frostbeard|Verthaik]]. The [[Mountain Monarchy]] declared it's independence from Urguan on the 1st Deep Cold 1518, with it's capital being [[Tal'Azwyr]] and it's other city being Kal'Krest. Magnus Blackfist was declared Jarl of Kal'Krest upon swearing an oath to the King under the Mountain, [[Verthaik Frostbeard]]. Within days of their declaration of independence, the Frostbeards and Blackfists gathered together and led the first raid of the war on a group of Urguanite workers who were encroaching on [[Mountain Monarchy]] lands. The workers were all slaughtered, as were their legionnaire guards who were woefully unprepared for the assault. After this victory however, a terrible virus swept through the lands of the [[Mountain Monarchy]], especially hitting Kal'Krest and leaving a large portion of it's population bedded.
