 Like many Dwarf Clans, The Golka are made up of many smaller clans and families.  However, like all Dwarves, the majority of those smaller families have the overall welfare of the Dwarf ‘nation’ as a priority, and cooperate together under the leadership of Clan Golka.  When the great mines and holdings in western Brevoy were lost, the dwarves started reorganizing.  It was slow, but what is fifteen or twenty years out of a dwarf’s lifetime?   Like many Dwarf Clans, The Golka are made up of many smaller clans and families.  However, like all Dwarves, the majority of those smaller families have the overall welfare of the Dwarf ‘nation’ as a priority, and cooperate together under the leadership of Clan Golka.  When the great mines and holdings in western Brevoy were lost, the dwarves started reorganizing.  It was slow, but what is fifteen or twenty years out of a dwarf’s lifetime?  
  
-While the dwarves don’t yet appear to have a grand plan, the basic plan seems to be based around a number of different communities.  Perhaps learning a lesson and going with the //don’t put all your eggs in one basket// philosophy or, perhaps, there just wasn’t a strong enough leader.  So far four main initiatives have had some success.+While the dwarves don’t yet appear to have a grand plan, the basic plan seems to be based around a number of different communities.  Perhaps learning a lesson and going with the //don’t put all your eggs in one basket// philosophy or, perhaps, there just wasn’t a strong enough leader.

-Midmarch has seen a steady influx of Dwarves into the area.  Slow to start with, some dwarves are starting to establish themselves.  Both the Stigmars and Silverhammers have an established presence in Newdawn, while Gandred has a position of responsibility in Ringbridge.  There isn't much activity in Fort Drelev, while Varnhold has a single Dwarf brewery. +The Southern Region has seen a steady influx of Dwarves into the area.  Slow to start with, some dwarves are starting to establish themselves.  Both the Stigmars and Silverhammers have established holdings in The Southern Region.  While other Dwarves hold positions of responsibility in a couple of nobles estates.

 The al Golka claim to be direct decedents of the original founder and are  often trained to take leadership position.   They all have other skills, of course, but are expected to rise to prominence in their field – not only by their family, but by the whole of the Great Clan.  They are the wealthiest and most influential group by a long way. The al Golka claim to be direct decedents of the original founder and are  often trained to take leadership position.   They all have other skills, of course, but are expected to rise to prominence in their field – not only by their family, but by the whole of the Great Clan.  They are the wealthiest and most influential group by a long way.
-  * **Ralin al Golka**, Mayor of Brunderton, is nephew of the lost Chieftain, and has led the growth of his town, he is probably the strongest candidate, if ever a new Chieftain.  Under his leadership, Bunderton has grown from a small mining settlement into a significant town with trading links to both Restov, New Steven and across the region.  It is the most successful, financially the strongest - and fast becoming the new Dwarf-Home in Brevoy.   Ralin has a Noble Estate  in Brunderton and also ‘owns’ a Mine, the Brunderton Mint and an exotic Forge. In the town.  He is Rich, powerful and Influential. +  * **Ralin al Golka**, Mayor of Brunderton, is nephew of the lost Chieftain, and has led the growth of his town, he is probably the strongest candidate, if ever a new Chieftain.  Under his leadership, Bunderton has grown from a small mining settlement into a significant town with trading links to both Restov, New Steven and across the region.  It is the most successful, financially the strongest - and fast becoming the new Dwarf-Home in Brevoy.   Ralin has a Noble Estate in Brunderton and also ‘owns’ a Mine, the Brunderton Mint and an exotic Forge.
