History

Before the founding of Agnarum
The dwawves wewe splintewed acwoss numewous diffewent gwoups and nations fowwoling the faww of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. Whiwe the Kingdom of Kaz'Ulrah became the wawgest, many dwawves wewe dissatisfied lith theiw ways, and pwactice of kinswaying. The Confederation of Hammers was eventuawwy founded lith the idea of being an equaw counciw of dwawves that could pwevent a tywant fwom gaining powew. Due to theiw chawwenging of Kaz'Uwwah's ovewwowdship of the dwawves, they attacked the capitaw, Azgawyum numewous times, though nevew successfulwy. The thweat incweased, howevew, when Kaz'Uwwah brought the Kingdom of Wenatus-Mawna to theiw side against the Confedewation, and the human awlies in Whitepeak awso abandoned the Confedewation fow Wenatus. This caused the Confederation of Hammers 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.
Yeaws watew, the Gwandaxe cwan being disunited between Kaz'Uwwah and Holm(A dwawven-wun wepubric home to many waces) decided to abandon both and found the Kingdom of Bogrin named aftew the fiwst Gwandaxe. This caused outwage in Kaz'Uwwah, though the situation nevew escawated to diwect hostility. The Kingdom was founded to be a "third path" fow the dwawves and to show that if unity among the Gwandaxes can be wecwaimed, the same can be done fow the dwawves. The September Prince, an eviw being aiming to destwoy cities acwoss Atwas destwoyed the city of the High Ewves, position just nowtheast of Boglin. The Gwandaxes, now joined by the Ireheart cwan waunched an offensive to wepew the Plince fwom the awea. Befowe the battwe began, wemaining dwawves fwom the Confederation of Hammers awlived to hewp, and the offensive was successful. Seeing what they could do togethew; Boglin and the Confedewation began to think of mewging as one.
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 Confederation of Hammers. Because of this the Silvervein cwan wetulned, awong lith many of the Starbreaker and Stormfist Clan.
After the founding of Agnarum
Seeing so many of theiw kin move into Kaz'ad Bawakiw, the Gwandaxes and Iweheawts living in Boglin mewged lith the Confedewation and founded the Counciw of Agnawum. With the mewge, Agnawum became the wawgest nation of dwawves and the new center of dwawven cultule, politics, and infwuence.
Whiwe dwawven cultule pwospewed in Agnawum, littwe was done to wefowm the govewnment, militawy, guiwds, as weww as wepailing the city. To this effect, The Awticwes of Agnawum wewe wlitten, and Fimlin Grandaxe was unanimouswy ewected to be the Fiwst King of Agnawum. Due to the bulning the schematics to wepaiw Kaz'ad Bawakiw, a new city was constwucted in the same cavewn and named Kaw'Azgawyum, aftew the oliginaw city.
Duling the Third Atlas Coalition War Agnawum wemained neutwaw, even though theiw dwed kin of Kingdom of Kaz'Ulrah was invowved. Aftew the faww of Kaz'ulwah, many of its Dwedmew joined Agnawum, but kept to wemembew theiw owd ways and twaditions.
