Karak Azgaraz
A dwarven settlement deep within the Grey Mountains. Connected to the Frugelholm Mountain the dwarves here are smithing masters closely connected to their god Tirus who has granted these dwarves with lots of resources for their craft.
The society settlement exists out of 3 major factions, the Warriors, the Artisans and the Clergy. Each faction mostly consists out of a large pool of middle class workers, a medium pool of acolytes training under the masters and a very small pool of elite masters who have perfected their craft over decades.
A dwarf gets a taste of all 3 of these factions throughout their childhoods and once they come of age they then go on to choose whichever faction(s) they feel most connected to and begin dedicating their lives to their chosen faction(s).
However it is possible for some of the more refined and wealthy dwarves to rise above these factions and become part of an elite group of scholars which are considered the absolute top of society right under the King himself. These scholars are more often than no born into their trade and are responsible for documenting the history of the settlement and it's leader, something very important. They also work closely with the 3 factions, documenting everything that is considered noteworthy for next generations so they can study and learn from them and perhaps even improve society in the future.
