→Blessed Kingdom of Karlikov
The traditional homeland of the dwarves, Karlikov is one of the oldest kingdoms still standing (a feat which is debated with the elven nation on which one is truly older). It is a massive country, taking up much of the land of Cyril and filled with a great deal of empty barren tundra. Dotted among the wastelands, great stone cities stand tall and rimed with unmelting ice, while deep inside its frozen exterior great forges draw up warmth from deep below. Like a glacier, the dwarven cities one sees on the surface is but a small part of the city as a whole. One can never tell when you may be walking over downtown in the city if it is underground.
The government is a constitutional monarchy, currently run by Queen Aymand formerly a theocracy of the Kleosian Church. It is generally considered a LN society, though the queen herself has been viewed unfavorably for her apparent greed and power hunger. They currently are in a small civil war with Burya, though it is more of a cold war than anything.
If a comparison to Earth could be made, Karlikov would be Russian in design.
