Overview

The outer moon of Aloth is in many ways Legomir's twin, save the moon is rich in nickel and scandium instead of rhenium.

It has the same diameter, climate, and thin atmosphere, and like Legomir is home to many mining colonies, exclusively dwarven.

 However, unlike Legomir Narzog is considered a poor cousin by Aloth. While the mining colonies are important they haven't got the economic impact that Legomir does.

Hazards

Identical to Legomir, Narzog's no picnic either. The air's about like a high mountain, people can adapt but hard work's no fun. Water is next to non-existent, plant life runs to the ultra-desert style.

History

The nickel mines on Narzog predate the rhenium mines by almost a thousand years. Narzogi dwarves like to think of themselves as the clan with higher status, this is hotly disputed by the Legomiri.

Politics

Narzog is definitely second in status to Legomir, where Legomir can demand and get instant fleets if attacked, Narzog isn't valued nearly as much.

 

Narzogi dwarves tend to resent this and typically have a sore spot when it comes to their treatment by Aloth vis-à-vis Legomir.

Population

Almost entirely dwarven, just like Legomir. In fact, the Narzogi are indistinguishable from Legomiri except from their dress, speech, and beard styles.

Major Products

Nickel, used in making alloys for tougher weapons, and magical ones.

 Also scandium, used by mages and alchemists for magical processes dealing with electricity. While nickel forms the backbone of Narzog's economy, scandium per pound is the far more valuable metal.

Armed Forces

The Narzogi are dwarves first and foremost. Because they have more of a piracy and smuggling problem, their defenses against spelljammer attack are formidable.

 Unlike Legomir, they can only count on limited assistance from Aloth, however.

Religions

Dumathoin, just like Legomir. It's interesting to note that both Legomiri and Narzogi priests of this god try and diffuse the rivalries, Legomiri by claiming Narzogi are just as good as they are, and Narzogi by claiming Legomiri arrogance is more a myth than reality.

Illegal Activities

Given Narzogi defenses, pirates tend to steer clear of the moon, but the lure of the valuable scandium is one that not all can resist.

 More pressing, however, is the problem of smuggling. Since, ounce for ounce scandium is about twice the price of platinum to certain unscrupulous buyers, the temptation to bypass official channels is always there.

Rule Adjustments

Triple all missile ranges (additional range is in the Long range category), and reduce all weight and encumbrance to 1/3 normal.
