Of the Dwarven Realms

These are the Kingdoms of the Dwarves of Old as they have been recorded in the Mammoth Scrolls. In the Days before Days the folk of Agrind Darkeye built Gorthurag. Others followed his example so that Five Great Realms of Dwarves came to be. In time these colonized other lands until Fourteen Dwarven Realms stood astride the world. Though none of the branches were ever as great as the roots, and none of the First were ever as great as First Home.

Below is a list of the realms and the date they were founded. The Root realm is listed before the Branches and are associated with the Root. The year listed is the dwarf calander.
