The Nation of the 3 Lilies 7/7: The Dwarf Companies

The Dwarf Companies:
     Two separate dwarven citadels (Clan Ironbender with a 455 ton
citadel and Clan Steelspire with a 670 ton citadel) are employed by the
nation to mine the raw materials they need from the many asteroids in
the nation’s territory.  The relationship is a beneficial one as the
lizard men are not skilled miners and don’t enjoy the work but can get
the processed ores cheaper than buying them.  The dwarves don’t have to
worry about supplies or attack as their employers are obligated to
provide for all their supply needs and have assigned several ships to
defend each citadel and its operations.  The lizard man demand for raw
materials has increased to such an extent that neither clan even
produces its own weapons and tools any longer, instead getting them
from the lizard men.  While few weapons in use are of lizard man make
with lizard men defending, the mining tools the dwarves use are  now
all lizard man made (and while of good quality cannot compare to
dwarven made items).  Each clan is known to possess at least one crown
of the void or similar magic to enable their delving of void asteroids.
 Naturally, they are keeping all details secret.
