Dunmorrow

Dunmorrow is the country of the Dunmorrow delvers in the northern Spine: nine fortress-mines, or holds, each carved into its own mountain and ruled by its own Thane, who meet at the Deep Moot once a decade. From 380 to 555 the holds were united as the Kingdom Under the Spine, and though the holds now argue constantly, they have never fought each other since it fell. They are the best smiths and miners alive, sell steel, armor and starsteel ingots to every side, and open their gates only for trade. They trade most closely with the Vargate Clans and Clan Nugag, keep their craft in a guild-script, and speak Dunmorri, a hold-dialect of Aldmeri with a smiths' cant. Their shafts are lit by cultivated delver moss and full of crag choughs and blind delver crickets, and they breed the best Gap mules.
