Eastern Dwôrven Republic (EDR)
Dworves
⚒️
"Industry, Solidarity, and Worker Control"
Capital: Norv-Na
Economy: Self-sufficient industrial powerhouse
Overview
The Eastern Dwôrven Republic is the largest and most industrialized city-state in Adamah — a sprawling landscape of factories, forges, and smelting operations that never go cold. Unlike every other city-state, the EDR operates under a socialist model: industries are owned by the workers, and corporations are constitutionally barred from interfering in governance.
Here, your value is what you build. Your voice is your labor. And the state exists to protect both.
Society & Status
- Built on hard work, craftsmanship, and unity
- A classless society — all citizens are equal workers under the law
- All major industries are worker-owned through cooperative structures
- Magic is not outlawed, but practical engineering is valued above it — what your hands make matters more than what your mind conjures
Economy
- Entirely self-sufficient — the EDR answers to no one's supply chain
- Massive industrial output drives every aspect of the economy
- No corporate interference in governance — ever
- Worker cooperatives control all production decisions
Military
🛡️
The Foundry Guard — An industrial defense force built from citizen-soldiers, not a traditional professional standing army. Every worker is a potential defender.
Key Factions
| Faction | Role |
|---|---|
| United Workers Union | The most powerful organization in the EDR — capable of shutting down entire industries if demands are not met |
| Anti-Enigma Federation | A radical group that views Enigma Machines as a threat to workers; actively sabotages factories that produce them |
| The Foundry | Designated police force near the Great Forge — maintains peace and order, though recent duties have been mostly minor scuffles at the Smelt-Ore |
| The Guard | Protectors of The Sprawl — a district known for unlawful enterprises. The Guard enforces its own autonomous order in this volatile area |
