Founding of Du'merh

Founding

The earliest record of Du'merh mark its founding as slightly before the creation of the Savage Isles in the year 1700. They note that these dwarves were especially hardy and hard working and that many of their clansmen regularly died from the cold and wind in the northern mountains.

It is believed that the dwarves that founded Du'merh were exiles from Du'gar who insisted on going further north in search for land not yet mined. Here in the northenmost reaches of E'ath they saw an omen of gods resting on a mountain and decided to settle there once the gods had left.   This location turned out fortuitous as the rock just below the ground was filled with mithril. This gave the dwarves all the reason and material they needed to dig further down and as they did so they found more and more precious metals and gems.
