| − | The '''Kingdom of Agnarum''', commonly called '''Agnarum''', (in Dwarven; ''Thrummazos ur Agnarum'') is the dwarven nation formed after the [[Kingdom of Bogrin]] merged with the [[Confederation of Hammers]] to create a better home for their dwarven kin. Following in the footsteps of the [[Grand Kingdom of Urguan]] Agnarum is a home for all dwarves that adheres to the Dwarven Spirit and the [[Brathmordakin]] Religion.

| − | = Background =
| |
| − | After the splintering of the Dwarven race during the [[War of the Beards]] The Dwarves were scattered to different lesser nations. Among these nations were the [[Confederation of Hammers]] and the [[Kingdom of Bogrin]]. These two dwarven nations saw the need for unity among their kin after fighting against the [[September Prince]] from the lands nearby [[Kal'Bogrin]]. Thus they formed together to create the Kingdom of Agnarum.

| − | === Atlas ===
| |
| − | Before the founding of Agnarum, the dwarves were splintered across numerous different groups and nations following the fall of the [[Grand Kingdom of Urguan]]. While the [[Kingdom of Kaz'Ulrah]] became the largest, many dwarves were dissatisfied with their ways, and practice of kinslaying. The [[Confederation of Hammers]] was eventually founded with the idea of being an equal council of dwarves that could prevent a tyrant from gaining power. Due to their challenging of Kaz'Ulrah's overlordship of the dwarves they attacked the capital, Azgaryum numerous times, though never successfully. The threat increased however, when Kaz'Ulrah brought the Kingdom of Renatus-Marna to their side against the Confederation, and the human allies in Whitepeak also abandoned the Confederation for Renatus. This caused the [[Confederation of Hammers]] to collapse, with many such as the [[Silvervein]] clan abandoning it for Kaz'Ulrah. Some remained in the Confederation, though it faded out from dwarven politics.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Years later, the Grandaxe clan being disunited between Kaz'Ulrah and [[Holm]](A dwarven-run republic home to many races) decided to abandon both and found the [[Kingdom of Bogrin]] named after the first Grandaxe. This caused outrage in Kaz'Ulrah, though the situation never escalated to direct hostility. The Kingdom was founded to be a "third path" for the dwarves, and to show that if unity among the Grandaxes can be reclaimed, the same can be done for the dwarves. The [[September Prince]], an evil being aiming to destroy cities across Atlas destroyed the city of the High Elves, position just northeast of Bogrin. The Grandaxes, now joined by the [[Ireheart]] clan launched an offensive to repel the Prince from the area. Before the battle began, remaining dwarves from the [[Confederation of Hammers]] arrived to help, and the offensive was successful. Seeing what they could do together; Bogrin and the Confederation began to think of merging as one.

| |
| − | Azgaryum, the capital of the Confederation of Hammers was destroyed in an attack by ratmen from the cavern depths. In retaliation the Dwarves of the Confederation, along with a force from Bogrin pushed into the caverns below and found a large cavern with a ruined city inside it. With Azgaryum gone, the Confederation chose the ruined city, named Kaz'ad Barakir as their new capital and announced a resurgent [[Confederation of Hammers]]. Because of this the [[Silvervein]] clan returned, along with many of the [[Starbreaker]] and [[Stormfist Clan]]. Seeing so many of their kin move into Kaz'ad Barakir, the Grandaxes and Irehearts living in Bogrin merged with the Confederation and founded the Council of Agnarum. With the merge, Agnarum became the largest nation of dwarves and the new center of dwarven culture, politics, and influence.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | While dwarven culture prospered in Agnarum, little was done to reform the government, military, guilds, as well as repairing the city. To this effect, The Articles of Agnarum were written, and [[Fimlin Grandaxe]] was unanimously elected to be the First King of Agnarum. Due to the burning the schematics to repair Kaz'ad Barakir, a new city was constructed in the same cavern and named Kal'Azgaryum, after the original city.

| − | *'''[[Kal'Azgaryum]]''' Originally known simply as Azgaryum, it was the capital of the Confederation of Hammers until its destruction. In its wake it was rebuilt and given the Kal' prefix after denoting it the capital. The original Azgaryum was constructed by the Metalfists, Silverveins and Hammerforges while the rebuilt city was designed by the architect [[Fimlin Grandaxe]].

| |
| − | Agnarum's culture comes from the collective culture of the clans that inhabit it. Many of the inhabitants are warriors or craftsdwed, with the Dwarven Legion being very prominent in daily dwarven life. At its core the dwarves of Agnarum have a firm belief that kinslaying of other dwarves is wrong, and thus have a strong dislike of the [[Frostbeard]] and [[Ironborn]] clans. Agnarum also holds true to the dwarven traditions that shaped the dwarves, as well as the [[Brathmordakin]] Religion of the dwarves,
