Farfobik is an ancient dwarf mine-hold that has had a hard time. Originally a Sky Citadel, formed when Torag Worshipping dwarves make a strike for the surface, it had extensive mines and a connection to the underdark, however it has been diminished over the years. Farfobik has survived through all of Galinia's troubles, dealing with the original Ancient (Celtic) families, the Wangate Empire, the barbarian and humanoid occupation, and (most recently) the Galinian necromancers and their self-destruction. During that last phase, a necromantic dwarf managed to infiltrate the dwarven burial catacombs, a few levels below the main mine-hold, and the dwarves were forced to collapse the tunnels that led to the underdark and their main mines. Now they are much reduced, limited to the surface, a single iron mine and the smaller, near-surface chambers. Worse still, the Necromancer is probably still down there, somewhere!

• Limited market for metals and stone
• became more pragmatic, shifted their religious focus to Magrim (LN(g)) with a focus on survival. Torag is still worhipped, but Magrim is given equal precedence (partly out of guilt for abandoning their burial catacombs)
• Concentrated on defence, scouting and hunting for survival
• then started dealing with Lady Portia
• Now has a market for metal and stone work
• But limited resources and skills

Dwarf Settlement Did have a connection to the underdark - but a group of Necromancers manaaged to get into the Dwarven Crypts. The dwarves had to collapse the entrance ways to the lower levels, to save what they could. They have a mushroom cave, and cave crickets - as well as an Iron Mine. No other metals are available from here. They have just restarted the search for more seams and tunnels - until Lady Portia came back, they had to concentrate on hunting and security. They are some of the best mountain scouts you will find.

They are Followers of Magrim - Torags older brother and Dwarven Psychopomp. Partly in penance for cutting their own dead off, and partly for his more pragmatic attitude. They are LN as a group, they like ti be on the 'good'side of that (when they can) but needs must ….
