 The mine mainly exports ingots of Copper, Bronze and Lead.  However, it mints its own coins (mainly copper but some silver and a few gold) and produces enough steel to make some good quality arms and armour.   They supplement their income by exporting the few gemstones (malachite, azurite, turquoise) that they find in their ore deposits.  They mainly import ale, grain, cloth and luxury items.
-Everyone knows that there are other exits higher up in the mountains, although their location is not common knowledge.  Mainly used for hunting there are rumours that the dwarves also trade with some of the less civilised races the inhabit those wild regions.  Underground caverns dedicated to fungi-culture and cave cricket husbandry, give them a rounded diet, with enough of the traditional Dwarven home comforts.  Overall, the mine-hold is estimated to have a population  of about 300 dwarves.

-As followers of Moradin, they are somewhat insular.  They trade happily, and send goods to market on The Kapot, but they are a home loving group, and set up permanent homes in ex-pat communities.  This does not stop adventurers going out into the wider world, and (perhaps) stopping for a while – but the intention is always to come home to Belarum, eventually.

-When the Dwarves  go to market, it is a formal expedition.  The sides of their Karve are lined with highly polished bronze shields, the Dwarves all wear polished bronze breastplates and helmets – and are armed with heavy crossbows and bronze axes.  They are very impressive – especially when you are close to them, and realise that all of their arms and armour are top quality masterwork items.  Most of the Dwarves are there as rowers and guards, but there is an experienced boat captain, and an officer to handle trade and sales -  although they wear the same arms and armour as all the others.
