As the name suggests, the Dark Rolling River Channel is a secret underground river channel dug by the dwarves to connect the northern bay of the Kansas Prairie and the southern bay of the Kansas Prairie.
Dwarves can communicate with the outside world through secret rivers, trade and even send troops. This river located deep under the mountains of Kansas has become the lifeline for the dwarves to communicate with the outside world.
However, this lifeline cannot be used all day long, because it will easily be known to other evil races or Skaven. Therefore, the dwarves' method is to choose a safe time period and reduce the number of uses to stay hidden.
The dark rolling river is extremely dark. There are only a few dwarf rune stones and torches on passenger ships to illuminate and provide a way forward. The complex and changeable river even has different dwarf rune marks that need to be identified.
If you go wrong, you will either end up in a dead end or fall into a trap, or even a deep pit that you don't know where it leads to.
The result was that Iros got up early, only to find that it was dark outside, with rocks on both sides, rocks on the ceiling, and rocks in the distance.
Iros looked boredly on the deck for a while and found that he had nothing to do.
Little Thor Green and his good friend Jed were still on the deck. What these two mustaches loved most was this cave environment.
Needless to say, the dwarves have a special preference for this environment. For dwarves, they are born with a love for mineral veins and caves. Little Thorgreen was chattering about what he would do if he were the great king of the dwarves.
How will he build this place.

Both inside and outside of his words, he didn't take the High King of Eternal Peak seriously. His mustache was just like his father Belegar's, and it was already a bit swollen. Anyway, without the help of the High King, wouldn't we have taken back the Eight Peaks Mountain?
"Oh, it's Mr. Iros."
Mustache was very happy to see Iros appear. He showed dwarf courtesy to Iros, and then said to Iros:
"Have you had breakfast? Do you want some?"
The two mustaches were eating breakfast on the deck. The dwarf's breakfast was beer, sausage, goat cheese, and dwarf lye bread.
Iros thought, why are you preparing such hard food so early in the morning?
Iros quickly shook his head: "I've already prepared it. I'm not used to eating such hard food in the morning."
"Aha, it seems that Lord Iros has better food."
Jed smiled, this mustache respected Iros, and he was combing his beard.
Although Jed's beard only reaches his chest, the dwarf has always regarded his beard as a symbol of status and qualifications. The beard needs to be combed and washed frequently to be beautiful and smooth. The two mustaches are naturally back waves. On the passenger ship, they spend every day
They all wash their beards.

"Eh? Mr. Iros, why did you shave your beard clean again?"
Jade immediately noticed that Iros had shaved his beard cleanly again, leaving not even a trace of stubble, so he complained:
"Sir Iros, you are good at everything, but why don't you have a good habit of growing a beard? I know that humans and dwarves have different habits, but don't you humans all grow beards when you get older?"
"Forehead..."
Iros touched his bare chin and thought, I can't tell you that my women are afraid of pain and tickling, right?
After thinking about it, Iros could only smile and say: "This is easy to deal with, just like many people in the empire like to shave their heads."
"Your Excellency Iros, we will arrive at Dulong City in two days. When we were supporting Erengrad, I had an exchange with the dwarf king Torgard here. The dwarves of Dulong City are separated from the Kingdom of Mountains.
Seven thousand years later, there have been great differences in culture and customs.
When you get there, no matter what Lord Tolgard asks, as long as it's not too excessive or too strange, please do as he says."
Young Thorgreen, holding a piece of lye bread in his hand, added:
"It shouldn't be a embarrassment to us. Dulong City has fully participated in the defense of Erengrad and the winter operation. I have also told the prince about your deeds."

They were unwilling and did not want to return to the Mountain Kingdom, so after the negotiations between the High King and the Great King, the two sides could only maintain the status quo.
Who wants to have more than one master?
The second problem is even worse, that is, like the evil dwarves, after they moved far away from the country and broke away from the central government, the dwarf expeditionary force quickly localized, abandoned their original culture, and gradually turned to worship
Evil, and the Mountain Kingdom became complete enemies, and claimed to be orthodox.
Then someone must have said that this happened after the contact was cut off. What if the contact was not cut off?
What if it is only enfeoffed beyond national borders?
What if the seal is given by the bloodline of the High King to ensure legal rationality?
Taking the Celestial Dynasty as an example, there were only enfeoffments outside the country's borders, and most of them were under the rule of Jisi.
But there have also been real seals, but once this is started and there is a precedent of real seals, then the seals will gradually begin to be sealed within their own core areas. For example, this is how the Jiedushi system gradually took shape.
.
As for the sealing of royal blood, it would be easier. Lao Zhu of the Ming Dynasty has explained everything with the King of Sai system. When the central government changes, these royal bloods will all have the right to inherit.
Do you think they would be willing to continue living a hard life in the desolate and backward fiefdom after receiving the news, or would they bring their troops back to the central government to compete for their status or even the throne?
Warning of the Eight Kings' Rebellion and Warning of Fengtian Jingnan.
As time goes by, there will definitely be problems with the central government.
Furthermore, even if the fiefdoms are linked together, it is easy for the enfeoffed regimes to gradually "localize". The four major khanates of the Mongol Empire, except the Yuan Dynasty, were all completely greened within a hundred years.
why?
Because the enfeoffment population was small, and there were only two ways to control the large numbers with a small number, the first was to kill all the locals, which is what the American emperors did to the Indians, for example.
The second is to simply localize it yourself, just like the four major khanates gradually localized themselves.
Of course, there is a third type where the central government continues to inject blood on a large scale, providing money and resources to others.
Regardless of the fact that large-scale blood transfusion for such a long time is the way to ruin a country, if large-scale blood transfusion is given to others instead of being managed by bureaucrats, what is the central government trying to do?
So it's very difficult. Enclosure at a short distance is seeking death, and enfeoffment at a long distance is not conducive to expansion.
If you don't plan to do what the American empire did to the Indians, you must have a large and sufficient population. Otherwise, you will either be driven away (like the Yuan Dynasty) or gradually become localized like evil dwarves (like the Four Great Khanates).

However, Iros doesn’t think that enfeoffment is worthless at all. For example, if the enfeoffment of immediate family members is far away, unable to come back, and there are no locals, let them be self-reliant and retain some seeds of hope, then there is still some operation.
spatial.
For example, the Eastern Song Dynasty in Australia, the Ming Dynasty in North America, and the Third Rome. Similar to this is possible and there is room for manipulation.
In fact, according to Little Thor Green, Dulong City even retains more traditional rune technology and ancient forging techniques than the Dwarf Mountain Kingdom.
However, because they have never experienced the devastating attack of the orcs, the dwarves of Dulong City are very backward in civil engineering and firearms technology.
