Dwarven Forgemaster
The forges of Midor are many things to the dwarves in their homes within the mountains. It is work, to provide for their families. It is warmth in the cruel cold of the mountains. The forges are led by a single dwarf. The Forgemaster is viewed similarly to a king. Their influence is all but final. The only one above them is the king himself. To obtain the metal needed to perform this work must be taken from the fires of Mt. Theose, to the frozen peaks of Mt. Belon.
