The Legend of Rain Thana

Deep in the high peaks of White Ridge Mountains rising to the east of Aron's Bowl, a race of dwarves emerged from their ancestral homes in the heart of the mountains and created a remarkable city called Akar. The leader of the clan was a powerful warrior named Rain Thana. She was known for being touched, and gifted with a foresight that led her to many victories.
Tired of the millennia underground, her second sight showed her towering spires of white marble laced with gold filigree. She understood the timing was right for her people to emerge from their mines, build a glorious city to the gods, and draw all the clans of the high peaks together into one nation. Over many long years, her clan-folk toiled, attracting many to join them until the stronghold, temple and walled court were completed. As the years passed, her ranks swelled with other clans joining the movement.
Unfortunately, many equally strong clans held to their traditional beliefs and isolation, resisting all urging to join Rain Thana at Akar.
