The Thrones of Stone: Who Rules Knoken?
Knoken has no king by blood. Only by balance.
In the dwarven capital of Knoken, the ruler is not born — they are elected. But this is no simple vote. The process is ancient, sacred, and perilous.
Power flows through three mighty roots:
The Great Clans — noble families of dwarven blood, each with its own loyal clientele of artisans, warriors, merchants, and spies. Their rivalries run centuries deep, their alliances shift like tectonic plates beneath the stone.
The Clergy — devoted to the Four High Gods:
Fanti, god of gems and radiant splendor.
Kraab, the eternal archivist and keeper of law.
Ludi, goddess of freedom, laughter, and creativity.
Odis, grim god of acceptance, duty, and death.
Each god’s temple wields moral and magical authority — and often disagrees on who deserves the crown.
The Factions — secretive or formal powers that transcend clan and temple:
The Order of the Wall Keepers, protectors of dwarven history and bastions.
The Guild of Jewelers, whose wealth can sway entire councils.
The Wild, nomads and reformists who walk freely where others fear.
The Corruption, a hidden cabal seeking something beneath the mountain.
The Shore, a network of spies who trade in silence and secrets.
When the throne is empty, these forces converge. Debates erupt. Bribes and omens flow. The deepest chambers of Knoken hum with oaths, threats, and whispered miracles.
The one who rises is not the strongest, nor the wisest — but the one who weaves the threads best.
Who will sit next upon the Stone Throne?
I know that of course but what would you imagine as the current... and the next leader ?
