Dwarf Holds of the Grey Mountains
Karak Norn - this hold lies in the Grey Mountains , above the forest of Athel Loren. It is a small and somewhat poor hold, with very few mineral deposits and veins, all of which are hard to mine. Like with Karak Hirn and Karak Izor, it has grown in importance and power since the Time of the Goblin Wars, as many dwarfs have come to live in its isolated lands, though likewise many young dwarfs from the hold journey eastwards to become prospectors and miners. The current king is Brokk Ironpick.
Karak Izor - known as 'Copper Mountain' in the tongues of Men. It is located near the Vaults at the junction between the Black and Grey mountain ranges, where there are many deep valleys and inaccessible peaks. Despite its isolation, there are many rich lodes of iron, copper, tin and other metals, and as such it has some of the deepest mine workings outside of the Worlds Edge Mountains. Many of the Dragonback Dwarves came to inhabit these lands after the loss of Dragonback Crag and the mines of Ekrund, where they use the seclusion to work and plan their return. The current is King Kazran Grimbrow.
