Realm of Krunbar

Overview
The Realm of Krunbar is a small, gnomish nation ruled by a council of its elite citizens. Its capital is mostly below the surface at Von Eroth. The Empire of Vecracan is a long time trade partner and Krunbar has sent many scholars to Ethos to take advantage of the Empire's golden age.

Brief History
As far back as the public histories go, Krunbar has existed in a state of relative isolation within its mountain range. To the north lies the Passage of the Damned and to the West lies only the Forbidden Lands. Until the Empire of Vecracan became their neighbor, small villages were all that occupied the open lands to the south and east. Not even Drow, Duegar, or any other evils have been discovered deeper under the mountains.

Due to the lack of outside conflict, Krunbar's citizens settled most disputes with debates, but were forced to stop as they began to turn into shouting matches. A council of the most successful and intellectual were founded to lead Krunbar and settle disputes, but many gnomes didn't want to be lead. These gnomes went into isolation in the mountains or migrated east into Vecracan.
