Hurcta

Hurcta is the homeworld of the Dwarves.
Dwarves are shorter than humans, the avearage standing about 4 feet tall. They are known for their coarse, abundant hair, and are generally somewhat fat. The enjoy mining more than nearly everything else, though many have become proficient with swords. There are very few Dwarven archers- because of this, a school has been started in the Éclat Mountain. Dwarves are very clannish. They are loyal to their clans like humans and elves are to their nations. There are thousands of clans, though few large ones. Each clan has a leader, chosen by their own methods, and 7 leaders of the large clans join each year to elect a sole leader from one of their 7. The leaders are not allowed to vote for themselves. The winner becomes the governer of the Éclat Mountain until the next year.

The Éclat Mountain is one solid city. The dwarves have tunneled through and under it until it resembles a giant ant hill. Because of the vastness of the city, it has been divided into several areas, each with their own names.

The Feucht Valley of Hurcta is entirely filled with mud. Though nearly impossible to live in, there have been cities formed; mostly by criminals who are not welcomed elsewhere in the world. This fact, coupled with the monster (or mosters) which makes its home in the valley's deep mud, makes the Feucht Valley even more dangerous.
