The Steel Empire is a proud and ancient empire inhabited by Steel Dwarves. Steel Dwarves have carved out a mighty, sprawling metropolis beneath the earth.
Its tunnels stretch for miles beneath the continents of Aldemere and Oros, as well as beneath the ocean. It is considered a part of the Dark Below by most surface-dwellers, although the dwarves who live there would scoff at the notion. Their Empire is as different from the unsettled Dark Below as the human capital city is from the bandits who roam the wilderness on its outskirts.
The Steel Empire's great cities are powered by the heat of the earth itself. The Dwarves who live there are master artificers and engineers, and their creations are highly prized as mechanical masterpieces. The empire is a prosperous one. The Steel Dwarves have everything they need within their underground homes, and they rarely venture to the surface world. However, when they do venture forth, they are a force to be reckoned with. Steel Dwarves are fierce warriors. Accompanied by their automatons, few can claim victory over their organized battalions.
In the center of each city in the Steel Empire is a great hall where the mayor resides. The halls are built to be impenetrable, and are guarded by the mightiest of warriors. Within the halls are treasures beyond your wildest dreams. Wealth tends to gravitate towards the central powers of government in the Steel Empire. The chambers of Kings, Queens, and the Emperor are so marvelous and rich in natural resources, art, and engineering marvels that they invoke awe and pride amongst all of dwarvenkind.
