Hidden in the mountains, Stonepeak is isolated by more by circumstance than by choice. Once, the dwarves traded heavily with the nearby human city. It was only with the war and it's fall that the Mountain Dwarves were cut off. Stonepeak's distance from the capital leaves them largely removed from the turbulence of the war, or even petty concerns like raiders or wild animals.

Known just as much for its beer as its metal; Stonepeak is a cornucopia of riches. It is this wealth which has drawn the attention of the empire so strongly. Though the ancient city is not a part of the empire, they are treated as favored allies. The friendly nature of the Mountain Dwarves has encouraged the growing empire to reach out to them, sending settlers to live and work in the dwarven stronghold. The Dwarves and Gnomes of Stonepeak are a boisterous lot and accepted the more rigid Orcs of Tenrimere into their midst with an affable companionship. Lately the gestures of the alliance from Tenrimere have become more overt with the construction of a port at the foot of the mountain. The people of Stonepeak are happy to accept this new success; further vindication of the mountain dwarf ethos of reaching for the skies.
