Vilhum Du

Beneath the Kikrin mountains lay the underground cities of Vilhum Du. The capital of Dos Roc’na is one of the greatest works of Dwarven craftsmanship. An intricate city hewed from the living mountain stretching for miles under and across the mountains. Ruled by King Sten Kraghelm, a recent usurper of the throne after a thirty-year rebellion against the previous King - debate still occurs about the legitimacy of the current King and those trying to bring back the old order. Despite the change of leaders, Vilhum Du has always been a place of technological advancement in recent years the Gnomes and Dwarves have premiered a ship that needs no wind to sail and is made entirely of metal. Many lands are now beginning to worry about the military might of Vilhum Du.
