Karak Matron is a Sof-Dwarf Hold that is located in Western France. The Hold is unique for being by far the furthest western Hold. The Hold makes itself the capital of theImperial Empire of Matron .
A hold that lost touch with Karak Ankor very early on in its history, it was the first Hold to leave Karak Ankor and became the first Rof-Dwarf. In this new independant life the Hold of Karak Matron grew very close to the Humans of France, and in this relationship the Dwarves of Karak Matron converted to Christianity and are now almost completely christian.
Due to their change in culture the Dwarves of Karak Matron are very numerous due to their increased fertility rates. This increased fertility is mainly due to the fact that Dwarven women in Karak Ankor are divorced from the factors of reproduction and only become involved when absolutely they must, while due to the intervention of Chrisitianity the Dwarven women see it as their role to increase the dominion of Christ and do this by increasing the number of Dwarves.
