Ulgrid Kingdom: History and Rumors

That the Brech Mountains is the Kingdom of Dwarves is perhaps a misnomer. Sharing the slopes with the dwarves are a several large, related clans of giants and a new but thriving orc community. Each has some claim to the lands although only two can even attempt to co-exist. War, however, has not broken out yet.

The name used many years for the range is from a word once lost to history and recently found. In 1419, an obscure reptilian dialect was found carved on a tablet deep in the caves of the Pon'a Nak'k. "Baheeigumies" (bah-ee-gah-mees, literally "mountains") was used by the reptilian race (theorized to be an early predecessor to the brokanian) to describe these formerly warm volcano mountains. For the dwarves to be using a name from an (presumably extinct) race of reptiles was unthinkable. The name was immediately changed to Brech (Burr-EK) Mountains, after the clan that spent the most time exploring and first brokered a truce with the giant inhabitants. The dwarves will now use no other word to describe their mountain home.
