Frostfall Mountains

The Frostfalls the mountain range that makes the northern border of Mynithrul the Dwarven Kingdom of Beidon.The backbone of the wealth of its economy is its rich gold, platinum, and mithril veins, along with various other mining of gems of metals as well. Underground in the mountains, there are many cities that dart through the mountain range all interconnected to one another. The dwarves have lived there long during the times of warm weather the lower houses tend to crops and farm much in their crops. While in the winter the lower houses hunt for food in the woods and trade their metals in exchange for food when the crops run poorly.
  The Beidon Kingdom is ruled by King Brogi Goldenhand with his royal house as well as 6 other Nobel Houses that help maintain order throughout the Kingdom. These Noble houses are the Frostpeaks, Stoneborns, Highfields, Icebrews, Ashbraids, and Silverbrands. Each House has its own personal soldiers, Laws in their own city-states, and personnel crime records as well as public ones. If a crime is committed that is minor the house will normally keep the infraction local however larger crimes will be made public and brought to the attention of neighboring city-states as well as the Royal Capital.

  The Highfields live in the rural places of the kingdom and are the primary supplies of food in the Kingdom. This house consists of the largest faction that many of the lower houses serve, the actual noble family is very small compared to the other noble families. The Highfields receive many criminals who are sentenced to years of hard labor with no pay in the fields and out on sea catching fish. which boots the Highfields family coffers. Those who don’t wish to farm are then conscripted to serve as soldiers.

True to their house words the Icebrews have nearly everything on hand for any occasion.
  The Ashbraids Family Patriarch - Jokull Ashbraids Base City- Kópavogur House Words- Virescit vulnere virtus (Courage grows stronger at the wound)
  The Ashbraids rose to nobility upon the discovery of the main Platinum and Gold veins that went on to become the backbone of the Kingdoms economy. The house consists of expert miners who dart in and out of the mines primarily focused on the gold and platinum mines. They often side with the Frostpeaks on major decisions in the capital who buy most of what is mined from the veins.
  The Silverbrands Family Patriarch - Yulfnir Silverbrand Base City- Árborg House Words- Vincit qui patitur (He conquers who endures)
  The Silverbrands make up the bulk of the entire kingdom’s main army and the head of the family always holds the title of Head General. The family heir always serves as the commander of the Royal Guard. The Silverbrands have always been harsh on the soldiers. Toughening them up with grueling training regiments to maximize the troops’ effectiveness. A special squad of troops called the Kzdanunian consists of dwarven men that have successfully pleasured 10 soldiers in a row in less than 18 hours this rite signifies the soldier’s stamina, strength, and willpower, and raises him high in the ranks just below the royal guard.
