=Politics=

While there is a king, his job is less of a traditional monarchy, and more concerned with the spiritual concerns of his nation as a whole. The idea of Korad Haras as a thriving commercial civilization is only partially true. They share all, in what they call the Law of Consecration. All items are consecrated to their King, their God, and in return every citizen is given what they require for survival. Crime is not a commonality within the city, but such as it is, crime is first assessed by court, then punished swiftly.

There is a political system that encourages communication and joint decision, as it is believed, strongly, that multiple opinions respected leads to correct assessments. The main court, the Court of Justices, holds 15 dwarven elders. It is a life term and held in the highest regards. These men are responsible for the peace and prosperity that is so evident within Korad Haras. Each district, of which there are 3, contains their own court. A District Court, where no less than 3 Justiciars provide rulings on matters of the district. Within each District are 3 subsections or Dwarven Communes. Each commune has 7 Justiciars giving rule over them.

Law
The law is simple. The edicts given to help each dwarf improve their own persons rather than keep each other safe. There are a few that each citizen, old and young know by heart, by the time they are old enough to carry a pick, which is age 2 or 3, or I'm a bearded gnome!
