Ebronland is a dwarven realm in the Njorun mountain range, a land filled with high peaks and volcanoes, or by dwarven standards, rich veins and hot lava to run the forges. As such, it is the most wealthy and powerful realm of the dwarves, and its society and culture is often mistaken for dwarven in general.
It is not related to Ebronism except by a coincidental similarity of names.
Politics
Unlike human realms, Alheimia does not have provinces. Dwarves care little for who claims which part of above ground land. Mining claims, tunnels, cities and other underground constructions, however, are clearly defined and divided.
Population
Ebronland is a dwarven realm in population as well as politics, but also has a minority of about 15,000 humans and the largest concentration of gnomes in the world, making up almost 20% of the population.
The vast majority of dwarves live in the dwarven underground cities, but there are many smaller trading posts and just-sub-surface mines, and the human towns and villages often cluster nearby.
Economy
Ebronland is rich in metals, gems and everything else that can be dug out of the ground. It trades those wares, both as raw materials and manufactures goods, to all its neighbours and to more distant realms. "Ebron Steel", especially, is in high demand around the world for its good quality and strength.
With these exports, the realm can afford to import many other items, including food. While Underground Farming and human villages in the valleys of the mountain and the less harsh lands towards the south-west of the realm provide food to the dwarven cities, the amounts produced just barely feed the population anymore, and the dwarves have become quite accustomed to having a wide variety of exotic food available.
