People's Republic of Malleus

Founding and Backstory
The Mallean Empire or Empire of Malleus was a small dwarven nation in the north of Varn Torum territory in Eldham. The mallean dwarves are an ancient folk, reclaiming a fraction of their former kingdom lately as well as demanding a colony, previously known as the Dragonshore, part of the now disbanded People's Republic of Holzinsel. The second Mallean Empire was gouverned by the Emperor and Mayor Lord_Khan and SenkelIimp.

Anthem
Currently, the national anthem of the Mallean Empire (Mallean State) is "When the Hammer Falls".

Other Songs
Since it's integration into Varn Torum, "If I left you Malleus" is serving as an irredentist song of the city state. However, due to it's critical view on Varn Torum, it isn't used used at public events. Other songs are the patriotic "Song of Hammerdeep" and the military songs "Birth of An Age" and "Dragonshore", referring to the destruction of the First Mallean Empire.

Religion
Malleans share similarities in religion to Tokora, of the dwarves of Varn Torum, although there are some differences like a much more deep love for the craft of smithing, leading to hammers playing an important role in mallean symbolism. This is coming from the tale of the first mallean: Malleus. Malleus learned the holy craft of smithing from the giants in the caverns of Hammerdeep, commonly known as "Nether". Since their purge by the god of war, the malleans are the only ones to master this craft to it's fullest potential. After the fight of the second emperor Boic Bravesoul and a demon, he has become the second most important religious figure in mallean mythology after Malleus.

Integration into Varn Torum
Now, the Mallean Empire is part of Varn Torum and is known as the "Mallean State" or the "Varn Torum Protectorate of Malleus". They control the Mallean Peninsula as well as St. Boic Peninsula.

The Emperor does still hold his position as Botan but must bow to the High King and Diarchs of Varn Torum.
