The Kingdom of Kaz'Ulrah, also simply known as Kaz'Ulrah, (Dwarven: Khor'Kunnek ur Kaz'Ulrah) is the only Dwarven nation following their conquest of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan in 1636.
Background
The Kingdom of Kaz'Ulrah was founded in 1626 by Clan Father Garrond Frostbeard in the city of New Jornheim during a city meeting. Immediately after announcing the creation of the Kingdom, Garrond stepped down from his position as Clan Father and offered the crown to Verthaik II Frostbeard, son of Kerwyr Frostbeard.
Etymology
The Kingdom of Kaz'Ulrah (Dwarven: Kaz'Ulrah Azwyrtrumm) received its name from the son of Urguan, Kaz'Ulrah Frostbeard.
History
Mountain Monarchy
In the land of Vailor the Frostbeard clan grew swiftly and quickly became a very powerful military force. The Clan decided to move out to the Southern most border of Urguan and establish the mountain town of Tal'Azwyr, here they would continue to gather their numbers. The Frostbeard Clan Father at the time, Verthaik ran for King but lost to Skippy Irongut in a controversial election. Joined by the Blackfist and Goldhand clan, Verthaik left the Grand Kingdom of Urguan and established the Mountain Monarchy. For the first time since the reign of Thorin Grandaxe, Urguan had a serious contender Kingdom, and was swift to prepare for war. At the start of the war, the Mountain Monarchy's army won many key raids and it looked as if they would win the war. However, when the two armies met on the battlefield at the Battle of Urguan's Hill, it was the Legion that eventually proved stronger than the army. In the battle, many of the heads of the Mountain Monarchy fell and as a result it was disbanded soon after. Regardless, it planted the seeds for a future Kingdom, other than Urguan.
