Golkaav
Golkaav is a nation built around an old Dwarven settlement in the Kaavelian mountains. No one is entirely sure when the original Dwarven settlements were created, but it does looks like there was an abrupt halt to their progress. Since Golkaav’s founding, efforts have been made to continue the excavations into the mountains, which has provided them with a wealth of metals and minerals for trade and manufacturing purposes.
Golkaav is a diverse nation, although the population tends to favor Dwarves and Humans. People of all races are welcome there (even though sometimes considered more monstrous). The policy is that everyone is welcome, but your welcome will be revoked if you commit too severe a crime. As a result. Golkaav has a sizable Goblin and Kobold population along with the other races.
Many of Golkaav’s cities are built in and around various mountains, but there are numerous settlements away from the towering Kaavelian mountains that serve as the nation’s bread basket. These settlements are protected and well cared for in an effort to stave off any more dependence on Igthaer than necessary. Golkaav has a major port city, although it does not see nearly as much trade as ports on the eastern side of Aveth. This is due to the waters near the port being trafficked by pirates from the untamed Westlands north of Igthaer. Attempts have been made to drive them off/away, but with little success. For every pirate ship sunk, two more take its place. Forcing any who wish to gain access to the port without a fight to either bring enough force to scare off the pirates or enough gold to bribe anyone they meet along the way.
