The former dwarven realm of Baltur is now known as 'The Godfall'. During the Collapse the sky fell onto the land and created a depression thousands of miles across with the Haklur Desert at its center.
Ever since, the remaining dwarves have tried to reclaim their former glory. The change in climate has made life harsh, but these days dwarven cities are a marvel to behold once again.
Sheep and a small potato known as the kolth are the main staple foods these days though the dwarves also distill some mean drinks from the kolth.
When it comes to government, every citizen has a vote in affairs on both a local and national level. Of late, there have been complaints that certain interests are making promises in return for votes.
Geography
The Silvalhuese River is now considered the eastern border of the nation. It has created a strip of arable land around it that is the only source of staple crops for the Godfall. The Nâla river to the south unfortunately goes through a canyon for most of its course and hasn't created a floodplain.
The lands to the north of the Haklur Desert are mostly plains but not much lives there until you get to the border with Fir Lanear.
The rest of the country is mostly shrubland; heaths and moors. The people have been able to grow a few things out here, see the food heading, below.
One of the great dangers out in the Godfall is the ever present dust storms, called Felak. These can appear out of nothing, with a few minutes' warning at best. What makes them so dangerous is that ever so often ancient magics are stirred up and dust particles get loaded with eldritch energy.
