Dwarven Confederation

The Dwarven Confederation is a coalition of six, formerly seven, sovereign politically interdependent city-states along the Mountains between the Imperial Commonwealth and Firisia. The Fortress of Eisenmaur was formally a Dwarven city state, but was leased to Imperial Commonwealth in X, not the least reason because the Dwarves felt six cities was more appropriate. The cities that make up the Confederation are
 * 1) - Dûrandur (Seat of the Council )
 * 2) - Reikshold (Seat of the Military)
 * 3) - Wûrttermbaur (Seat of Treasury)
 * 4) - Bûrstadt (Seat of the Industrial Board)
 * 5) - Greifsheim (Seat of the Naval Board)
 * 6) - Mittenlortt (Seat of the Agricultural board)

Formerly;
 * 1) - Eisenmaur (Leased to the Commonwealth)

Political government
Each Dwarven city has a slightly different political ethos and government system, but there are similarities in overarching form. Each city state has an independently elected Governor and five elected borough-governors, for a total of Six Governors in each city. Although nominally each Governor represents one the Six Districts of the city, in reality the Governors generally take upon a specialised role for the entire city: ie, Treasurer, minister of agriculture, Defence, and such.

The Governor's of each city, together, form the Council of the Six, that rule the confederacy as a whole. Of which, one is elected by vote in the council to act as Head.

Hexagonal Motiff
For reasons unknown, dwarves are obsessed with hexagons and it influences everything about their character - from the design of their arms and armour (Hexagonal axe blades, bucklers, and chainmaille), through architecture (Hexagonal shaped buildings and the conversion of all right-angled wall corners into half-hexagonal shape) to their

Religion
The Dwarven Pantheon follows the same Imperial gods, but elevates Six so Primary worship. Dwarves worshpping others are rarer.
 * 1) Huskar, God of War.
 * 2) pelor, God of the Sun
 * 3) Vlkuria, Goddess of War.
 * 4) Euclid, God of Space
 * 5) Necrosis, God of Death
 * 6) Loki, God of Chaos.

Military Organisation
Most dwarven military companies consist of 110 dwarves, enough to form a hexagon 3-dwarves deep with an additional Lieutenant, the commanding officer, and Lieutenant of Instruments, usually a bard who was tasked with signalling orders as well providing support via bardic songs.

Reiksguard

The Reikdsguard are the supreme elite units of the Dwarven confederation, based in Reikshold but drawn from all cities of the union. Unlike most of the dwarven military, the Reiksguard accept exclusively dwarves, and is very competetive and selective.
