Economy: Dhul Kharzon was an illustrious kingdom of the Kharz dwarves, celebrated for its unimaginable wealth. The city was renowned for its legendary mines, where seemingly endless veins of precious metals, particularly gold, silver, and mithril, were unearthed, establishing Dhul Kharzon as the world’s primary source of mithral. The master forgers and weapon smiths of Dhul Kharzon were said to be unparalleled in their art, crafting magical weapons and armor of unmatched quality and strength. The economy of this great kingdom thrived on the trade and export of precious metals, attracting merchants from far and wide to its gates. Today, items that were manufactured in its deep forges, such as magical weapons and armor are highly prized and sought after.
Military: The city boasted a formidable army of stout and heavily armored axe wielding dwarves, whose disciplined might instilled fear in the hearts of their foes. Their amazing underground combat skills were said to have made the city all but impregnable.
History: The history of legendary Dhul Kharzon is enigmatic, its downfall a subject of debate and conjecture. No records survive to shed light on the events that led to its decline, leaving the truth buried beneath layers of legend and myth. The kingdom's disappearance remains a great enigma that stirs the curiosity of scholars and adventurers alike, yet after countless centuries, the world today is no closer to the truth.
Today: The location of Dhul Kharzon remains a great riddle, lost amidst the passage of time. Legends persist that the entrance to this mysterious grand underground city lies hidden within the rugged and rocky Aurum Mountains, situated on the west coast of Beorlan and northwest of the expansive plains of Palanlad. The Aurum Mountains, now a desolate wilderness, guard their secrets closely.
