Dwarven Council of Three

The Dwarven Council of Three is the ruling party of the unified dwarven nations. Representing a leader from each of the three mountain dwarf civilization, the council makes decisions on multiple political and economic issues such as trade deals with the surface, exploration and protection of the Underdark, and mining operations. The Council meets yearly in each major Mountain Dwarf stronghold, rotating between each city every year. This is meeting is always celebrated as a large festival called The Gathering and ends in a tournament that crowns the greatest warrior in the nations. It is rare that the Council will ever deal with the surface world and only meets with the Five Baronies during times of true crisis.
