Tri-King Fortress serves as the political capital for Krynnic and Harnic Dwarves on Arda. Built by the  [[three_kings_of_the_dwarves|Three Kings of the Dwarves]] into the [[tri_king_mountains|Tri-King Mountains]] at the headwaters of what may be Arda's largest tidal bore, the [[firth_of_durin|Firth of Durin]], it experiences daily tides of more than fifty feet.  The tidal current alone can carry shipping from one end to the other in a single tide cycle.

Being the center of unified Dwarven culture, there is a large temple district, with temples of
        * [[church_of_eru|Church of Eru Ilùvatar]]
        * [[church_of_moradin|Church of Moradin]]
        * [[church_of_dumathoin|Church of Dumathoin]]
        * [[church_of_gorm|Church of Gorm]] 
        * [[church_of_reorx|Church of Reorx]]

In addition to exceptional foundries and machine shops, Tri-King Fortress  is famous for its inlay work and jewelry.  The dwarves harvest ebony from the surrounding hills, along with other exotic hardwoods.  Their outposts nearby supply a variety of metals, including some gold, and the surrounding mountains are far from completely explored. 

There are a variety of underground fungi farms, supplementing fishing and herds, as well as producing a fermented mushroom liquor which most non-dwarves find disgusting.  The hill dwarves also do some surface farming, primarily sugar cane, fruits, and exotic herbs.

There is also considerable trade with [[barony_munchausen|Barony Munchausen]]'s [[grand_monaco_bay|Grand Monaco Bay]] settlements. 

They have spawned four well fortified mining outposts to the South, along the [[tri_king_peninsula|Tri-King Peninsula]].  In order from the Southernmost, they are a gold mine at [[dk4|DK#4]], a copper mine and large harbor at [[dk2|DK#2]], a silver mine at [[dk1|DK#1]], and tin and iron mines at [[dk3|DK#3]].

The [[three_kings_of_the_dwarves|Three Kings]] are engaged in diplomacy with the Arda Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain, as well as the Dwarves of Orothiar near [[barony_tranth|Barony Tranth]], and hope to formally exchange embassies.
