Line 29:
It is believed, or at least widely held, that the first region to posit this idea was the spiritual home of the Dwarves; Bormar Vale. Shortly after this, other regions further away did the same, and the countless shards of the Mar Mountain regions slowly coalesced and grew into much larger Dwarven nations. Some regions joined their neighbors willingly, whilst others did not. The fighting that ensued lasted for decades until the Mar Mountains were encompassed by a handful of much larger regions, each of which held massive amounts of wealth and power.
 
An explosion of technological and societal developments followed, eventually resulting in the founding of Bormar, though as a much smaller region than it is now. The adoption of the Bormar calendar and the founding of the [[Government of Bormar#The First House|The First House]] were some of the first signs of Bormar establishing itself as a foremost world power. It was at this time that Bormar began to utilize Outposts to further expand its reach. 
 
The larger regions enjoyed a time of peace and prosperity and, when it came time for Bormar to begin to expand its borders once more, most of them came willingly after seeing the burgeoning nation's sturdy foundations as most fitting for the Dwarven race. The region known as Kentlehell, however, notably did not and held out as an aggressive neighbor.
