The Duchy of Stendahl is the current longest-standing peerage within The Kingdom of [[Stone Bay]]. It was founded several centuries ago as '''The Kingdom of Stendahl''', based out of its capital city of '''Dhara''' upon the gifting of [[The Earthen Crown]] to the first ''Underking Smaugburg Steelhide''. Upon the Blackrock Clan's defeat in the ''Battle of Gullgacks Gorge'', the Steelhide family secured their position for centuries to follow.

== The Third Age, The Age of Machinima ==

The Third Age of Stendahl was marked by immense technological progress and deepening isolation. Under the reign of Underqueen Viruhna the Great, the dwarves entered their golden era of Dwarven Machinima—a fusion of magic and machinery. They created iron golems, magically enhanced forges, and complex systems far beyond traditional engineering. It was a time of industrial brilliance, even as fear of pure magic lingered.

During this period, the dwarves emerged from their mountain halls to make contact with the surface world. Diplomatic missions were launched, including one to the enigmatic Drenorans, but records of that encounter are scarce. Their most ambitious outreach ended in disaster after conflicts over magic and religion, particularly devotion to Moder Jord, sparked hostilities. Violence and betrayal, including the murder of a dwarven diplomat by elves, led Stendahl to shut its gates once more, fostering a lasting distrust of surface dwellers—especially elves.

== The Fifth Age, The Age of Expansion ==

== The Modern Age ==

After its forceful move from [[Felanah]], '''Stendahl''' resides and thrives proudly, remaining as the oldest standing peerage and only Duchy. It remains the home of the Dwarves of Kara, with the general populace of Stendahl often being referred simply as '''"The Dwarves"'''. They are known to be proud and ambitious, relishing in their rich culture and deep history, and sharing it with all who will listen. The Duchy's economy runs largely off of their businesses and local Co-op, focusing on mining and agriculture to not only bring in money, but also connect to their Dwarven roots.

Stendahl's residents find their homes within the island's Mountain, in the former capital city of '''Dhara''', protected by the statue '''Gate''' and home to the '''Forges of Dhara'''. It is home to the [[Order of Gunterra]] located right by its front gate, better known as '''Stone Haven'''.
