Karak Kadrin - known as the 'Stronghold of the Pass'.

Karaz-a-Karak has endured for ages past and will endure in ages future until the very end of times. It is the mightiest and most populous of all the Dwarf kingdoms, and its deep rock-hewn vaults stretch for many leagues under the mountain, with the largest halls resembling colossal forests of carved pillars. It is the seat of the High Kings, the site of some of the largest the temples to the ancestor gods, and here are kept the Great Book of Grudges and the Book of Remembering, works of almost sacred significance. Karaz-a-Karak has withstood many attacks through the ages, but it has never fallen to an invader. It is the first, most powerful and largest of their holds containing within its halls the history of their people carved in stone. This is the age-old capital of the near-mythical ancient Dwarf civilization, the Pinnacle of Mountains, the Most Enduring.

Karaz-a-Karak - (From Khazalid the language of the Dwarfs) - Karaz-a-Karak simply translates into Everpeak, although the name holds a much greater significance to their kind.

The Dwarfs still rule nine major holds and countless smaller kingdoms. However, their Pyrrhic victory in the War of Vengeance, combined with the vast destruction of the Time of Woes and the onslaught of the Goblin Wars, resulted in the loss of several holds and hundreds of smaller settlements and mines.

At their peak, Dwarfen lands encompassed nearly the entirety of the Worlds Edge Mountains, in addition to settlements in the Grey and Black Mountains and many smaller hill settlements in the lands of what would become the Empire. Their original homeland was located in the mountains of the Southlands, but they migrated northwards in search of new veins of precious metals and gems to mine, gradually settling in the Worlds Edge Mountains. The Karaz Ankor (translated as ' The Everlasting Realm' or ' The Mountain realm' as the Dwarf word for mountain and extreme durability are the same) is the primary homeland of Dwarfen kingdoms, the holds and cities of the Worlds Edge Mountains that they have inhabited since the earliest days of their recorded history.
