History
In 390 F.M. (Before Magic), the dwarfs were in the midst of a war when Oblon was founded. Mer Kuldir - The school of the dwarves was the heart of their culture. Everything was peaceful until the Long Xae Dynasty appeared, attempting to conquer their borders and mountains. But the clans refused to back down, and they fought the Long Xae Dynasty's army as a united front.
After their victory and peace negotiations, the dwarfs established a single country, Oblon, and combined their borders. The descendants of the fighting dwarf clans still exist in Oblon today, mostly residing along the mountain ranges that used to define their borders.
"The Stones Know" is Oblon's motto and originated from the war with the Long Xae Dynasty. The dwarfs used the code word "The Stones Know" during the war to signify the presence of their enemies being close or nearby.
Religion
The people of Oblon do not believe in The Old Gods in the same way the rest of Aurin does. They only pray to the Gods of their choosing and from the stories they grow up listening to. The people of Oblon have their legends and myths with creatures and dwarfs that they pray to or give offerings to more than The Old Gods. For them, achievements grounded in facts and reality are more important than magic.
Dwarfs, especially those from Oblon, are skeptical of magic. For dwarfs, real skills come from hard work and knowledge of your craftmanship. But some are more open-minded to magic users and magic.
Trade & Transport
Oblon is located at the center of many neighboring countries, which makes it a hub for trade and transport. A large number of people pass through its borders for these purposes. Oblon has taken advantage of this and has become one of the largest countries in trade and transport. The country generates most of its revenue from taxes collected from merchants who cross their borders for trade outside of Oblon. However, if merchants intend to trade only within Oblon, they are exempted from paying any tax.
