Salt Coast: Dwarven Empire

Though not as long lived as the elves or as prolific as humankind, the dwarven nation ultimately expanded into an empire that controls much of the Salt Coast. This is somewhat attributed to their long lifespans, in that they simply outlive those human leaders that might seek to hold power, but more than that, their extensive facility with manufacturing, building, and trade.

Their empire was not won through wars and conquest, but through trade agreements and treaties.
