Myrkrtite – Dwarven ore found deep within Mount Fúinn. It's the primary export, and is used in the forging of various weapons.

Rotations (in regard to dwarven age) – Although dwarves can and do live on the surface, the overwhelming majority live within the confines of their mountains and tunnels. A subterranean lifestyle means no seasons to judge the passage of time. For the last two and a half thousand years the dwarves have relied on a large clock like device called an astrolume timed to the planet's rotation of the sun, created with the help of human mages and astronomers. Since its creation all dwarven cities have an astrolume and base age on its rotations.
Krakmule – Beasts of burden, bodies similar to the oxen of the surface with heads resembling the woodland Moose creatures and their large antlers. Named for the sound two combative mules make when antlers collide.
