In its earliest iteration, the Outpost was nothing more than small hovels built in an ancient ruin. Some foundations of the old buildings were used for new ones, while others were dismantled and replaced with more solid structures. A crumbling wall surrounded the ruins, providing some protection for its growing population of '''[[Dwarves]]'''. Eventually, they began expanding outwards, particularly towards the coastal cliffs.

Later on, the Outpost would be refurbished, including a new wall and a realignment of its four entrances. There were two distinct areas of Kon Belben: the Inner Outpost, and the Outer Outpost. The Inner Outpost was everything built upon the original ancient ruins. This section was walled and was the beating heart of the Outpost. The Outer Outpost was everything outside of the walls and included just as many homes, businesses, and structures as within.

For many weeks since its founding Kon Belben had no government whatsoever. This changed when a fight broke out in the Outpost resulting in the death of the Apothecary Roslyn Vidluf at the hands of Ankoth Reknor, a Dwarf-At-Arms. Calls for justice were heard through the Outpost, but due to there being no laws to judge Ankoth, it was decided that a government must be organized first.
In the first few weeks of the Outpost's existence, where most living spaces were still tents, Zietal Mar lacked any government, leader figure, or law enforcement. Over time it was deemed that a leader should be elected, with Zietal Mar’s lone priest Sigmarr Thoruva initiating the proceedings. The election resulted in the declaration of Kadol Ubbul, to the position of Overseer.


After a long and tiring cycle of elections, Thorgrin Metalfist was elected as Kon Belben's first leader, holding the title and powers of the position known as the Ceannard.
The Overseer would be supported by a Lower Chamber made up of a leader of the Outpost’s industrial matters, and religious pursuits, and a third position by the election’s runner-up to act as a check on the Overseer’s power.
