Current
Monarch: Y'Dror is ruled by a governing council of nine, made
up
of equal parts human, half-elf and dwarf. Elves have served,
but
most prefer to stay in Y'Syr, Y'Mar, or Y'Tol. The council is
arbitrated by a member of the Astariun brother-or-sisterhood, and one
of the human families ties its lineage back to the Firstlander prince,
Ydrovan.
Royal Device: Against a snowcapped mountain setting, two crossed stone
hammers.
Capitol
City: There are two cities considered capitols in Y'Dror.
Y'Dravyr is the dwarven stronghold and in recent years,
Koryth
has begun to serve as an outpost for those who do not enjoy mountain
living.
Population:
Around five million humans and half-elves share the kingdom of Y'Dror
with approximately three and a half million dwarves.
Main Exports: Tin, gold, silver, iron, steel, lumber, gems,
certain chemicals and dyes, furs, granite, copper, weapons and armor of
the finest quality
Main Imports: Rice, wheat, leather, cotton, wine, tobacco, wool
Y'Dror
is the hereditary land of the dwarves, short-statured humanoids who are
physically hearty and have an innate sense of the realms below the
earth. They are diggers and tunnelers and crafters of fine
objects made from the rich metals and gems found in their mountains.
When the Firstlanders came to Y'Myran, they welcomed the
humans
with open arms and readily agreed to incorporate into the growing
kingdom. Dwarves are, by nature, rowdy. They enjoy
a good
time, fine liquor, and are among the first to volunteer when the
rimerbeasts spawn. They do not breed very well, and thus
their
numbers are fewer than the more prolific humans and half elves, but
they live longer lives. Some dwarves can live up to four
times
longer than a human.
