A small Outpost was established in [[Chapter Three|'''Gellion's Cross''']], a short trip from the borders of '''[[Bormar]]'''. Due to the discovery of an ancient document by Lord Tolbar Maldus that hinted at an ancient Dwarven presence in the area, an expedition was launched to settle the land and unravel its mysteries.
Kon Belben was established on the northeastern coastline of Gellion's Cross. It was founded upon a collection of stone ruins built by unknown hands.

On the 24th of Juntag, 812 BY, a festival was held in Kon Belben to celebrate the great [[File:KBFestival.png|thumb|The infamous goat masks distributed at Kon Belben's festival.|alt=|330x330px]] works and crafts that its Dwarves had fashioned since the Outpost's founding. The event was held at the new mine South of the Outpost that was built by various members of the Regvari family. While the festival was organized to celebrate the labors of the expedition's Dwarves, it soon became a general celebration. Events were held, including archery, drinking contests, a dunk tank, and even a battle of insults between Kell Kalastra and Dubir Lout which almost came to blows. Goat masks were fashioned to honor the Kon Belben's namesake, and many laughs were had over their somewhat disturbing appearance.

=== The Sobal Observatory & Constellarium ===
The Sobal Observatory was a cutting-edge facility built for the purpose of furthering Bormar's knowledge of the heavens above. Built and managed by Cruinne Sobal, the Observatory was also home to Vemghall Astrology, a members-only astrology association that never quite got off the ground. There was also a lounge for relaxation and [[Telkrat|'''telkrat''']] as well as a large glass-domed roof which a telescope with which the planets and stars could be viewed.
The crown jewel of the observatory, however, was the constellarium. Located in the observatory's lowest level, the constellarium provided a scale model of the solar system for any curious Dwarf to see. Cruinne Sobal was known to give tours of the constellarium before he left the Outpost to return to Bormar.
=== The Central Tower ===
When the Dwarves first discovered the ruins on which Kon Belben was built, the only standing structure was a large tower at its center. Its stairs were rickety and its foundations uncertain, but with some effort, the Dwarves stabilized the structure. The roads of the Outpost all converged upon the tower, and it became the center of most activity. When the Office of Outpost Affairs required tribute, the goods were initially gathered in the tower. Meetings were also held in its shade, particularly the meeting held by the newly elected Ceannard, Thorgrin Metalfist.
The tower would undergo several renovations, eventually looking far different than what it did when the Dwarves first arrived. The tower eventually became the base of operations for Kon Belben's molir, which was led by the Outpost Marshal, Mordware Vidluf. A great bell was placed
