Ridthos[]
Dwarves originally hailed fromt heir undeground palace, Ridthos. To the dwarves this was an endless world of riches waiting only to be found, to outsiders on the other hand this was an impenetrable fortress housing the king of the Dwarves. The surface above Ridthos is among the most mountainous regions and traveling in these mountains is certain death for many. Ridthos is placed on the westernmost part of Kaniros giving it quite the coastline. People wishing to trade with dwarves tend to use ships to get there instead of attempting to travel through the mountainous regions. The dwarves have large trading posts around the worlds and usually these are the only places where you can get a hold of Adamantinium gear.
