@@ Line 104: / Line 104: @@
 There are many dwarves in New Stetven, some work for other people, while a number run small businesses – normally associated with metal or stonework. While they do have a Dwarven Network, they keep a very low profile and rarely act together as one body.  After all, this isn’t the time to upset the rest of the city, and especially not the King-Regent.
+=== New Dawn ===
+New Dawn has become the Dwarf enclave in The Southern Region.  They run mines for Baron Aeris, coordinate Torag's worship and even have a special school teaching Dwarven Lore.  There are dwarves in other towns, but New Dawn is the centre of operations.

 ===== Half-Elves =====
-There aren’t all that may Half-Elves in Brevoy, because there aren’t many elves in Brevoy either.  Even if they aren’t born there, most of the Half-Elves finish up in New Stetven or Restov – because that is where the action is, and they are both fairly cosmopolitan environments.  Many are born in the cities as The Free Cities of Brevoy are  always an interesting stop for Elves doing the ‘Grand Tour’.  In the cities there are plenty of willing partners, of either gender, willing to help travelling Elves spend their cash.  Which is one of the reasons why a lot of city half-elves come from broken homes.  Some elves stay for longer, but few manage to live out a whole lifetime in the fast-paced human world, that doesn’t leave them time to think.

 As always, a disproportionate number of Half-Elves leave home to seek their fortune – and many join adventuring parties.

 ===== Gnomes =====
-There are very few Gnomes in Brevoy.  There is a colony to the south, at Jovvox, but very few fancy lining in an oversized, and over regulated, human world.

 ===== Elves =====
-There are no Elven settlements in Brevoy, and the nearest Elven state is hundreds of miles to the south at Kyonin.  Kyonin is an isolationist state and doesn’t allow other races into their lands, nor do its residents move to other nations, with short-lived populations.  Many Kyonin Elves travel to see how the short-lived ones lives and behave - but they generally return to their homeland fairly quickly.  Some, who become the parents of half-elven children stay for a while, perhaps 20 years or so, before they return.  Many males don’t even realize they have fathered a child, and move from town to town and assignation to assignation - and there is never a shortage of company to help them spend their travelling money.  Female Elves often have a similar lifestyle, but they understand the value of taking Night Tea regularly.

 There are a few, longer term, more caring relationships, of course – but nowhere near as many as there are casual relationships.
