Wyrmspine Holds

The Wyrmspine Holds is a region in eastern Avas, east of Reaht and south of the Steppes of Khalka-Nur. The holds are a series of allied dwarven clanholds that reside in or beneath the Wyrmspine Mountains.

Each of the Wyrmspine Holds is an independent entity, bound to the others by millennia-old oaths and alliances. Each hold is loyal to its dorn, or king, who in turn swears fealty to the Underking. The Underking is elected by the Wyrmspine Congress, a council made up of the kings of all the Wyrmspine Holds. The position of Underking is the highest honor a dwarf can aspire to, and once elected, the Underking rules for life.
