Kabb'nal-An is the dark forest valley, nestled in between two huge mountain ranges to the north and the south of it. The region is bordered with Chaygor to the north and Kial-raah to the west, with southern and eastern shores opened to the great ocean of Eirene. It is a home to four dwarf clans. The Stonebreakers out of Dael-Sos to the northwest, the Reventors from the town of Dael-Rev to the north east , the Archenwoods living in and around the town of Dael-Arc to the south east, and the Horsenbacks from the town of Dael-Hor to the south west.
Due to the disagreements regarding the borders, dividing each and every kingdom, the clans were living in a constant feud. The longest one being between the Horsenbacks and the Reventors. The clans were in war for almost three centuries, with no end in sight. And with the other two clans using that to better their hold on the territory, the entire region was one giant powder keg waiting to explode.
Dwarves are and always were the most technologically advanced race of the entire Dorull. They spearheaded the mining advances, which others are trying to catch on to this day. They brought the art of blacksmithing to a different level, by developing new techniques in ore and metal processing. They were first to discover and develop the usage of the steam power, creating many contraptions and machines that saw to the betterment of the entire world.
Their most recent endeavor saw the discovery of gunpowder. But so far this is closely kept secret known only to dwarfs. The clans forged an agreement between them, as they are racing to figure out every possible application of the volatile black dust. The applications that will either unite or destroy Kabb'nal-An. You will be able to find that out in one of the upcoming Dorull Stories novellas, Clan Wars.
