Overking

Overking was the title given to the leader of the dwarven empire. The first acknowledged Overking was Khazi Khazar, who founded the city of Kalaza in the early Second Age and unified the dwarves. The Khazar line ruled the empire for thousands of years. The final bearer of the title was Gerfroth Khazar who died of the Red Rot in the aftermath of the Undead War, after which the empire splintered into regional clans.
