Before the fall of Kolzamor, the ancient dwarves have had a series of small mountain strongholds throughout Valskar. Clan leaders of the Hulyar clan maintained close relations with High King Tombarad, until the day the necrosange plague ravaged the Kingdom under the mountain. The Hulyar chieftains ordered the tunnels sealed and turned away all refugees in an effort to protect their own clan. Generations of separation from the other clans have changed the Hulyar over the ages, acclimating them to the cold of the region. This lead them to be one of the dominant races of Valskar. Their current largest cities are near the North Eastern and South Western borders of the continent, while many ancient ruined cities are near the middle of the continent.
