Arturan

Most native dwarves of Markov come from the city of Arturan. The city entrance is a massive door carved into the side of a mountain. The mountain itself has been hollowed out into stone houses and several layers of walkways ring the walls of the cavern. There is a grand palace at the rear of the cavern suspended over a lake of lava. The palace is home to the Goldenglow Clan. The dwarves of Arturan are famous for their skilled smithing and plentiful mines. They provide amazing weapons and armor for anyone wealthy enough to afford their services. Although Arturan is in the Markov borders, it is the only city that does not answer directly to the High King. Instead, they answer to the Goldenglow clan leader.
