Realm
Dumathoin shares the Dwarven Mountain on the Outlands with Dugmaren and Vergadain. Dumathoin dwells in the deepest level of the realm, called Deepshaft Hall. Deepshaft Hall is dark, icy, and stale with the smell of the dwarves who mine it. The roughly cut mineshafts twist confusingly. The petitioners who dwell in Deepshaft Hall use special gems, called soul gems, as tools for gaining union with the realm and their deity. There is an illicit trade of these gems to shadow demons. Dumathoin's domain intertwines in places with the realm of Ilsensine.
Dumathoin is also associated with the Fading Land known as the Mines of Dumathoin.

Famous quotes containing the word realm:
“The fate of our times is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the “disenchantment of the world.” Precisely the ultimate and most sublime values have retreated from public life either into the transcendental realm of mystic life or into the brotherliness of direct and personal human relations. It is not accidental that our greatest art is intimate and not monumental.”
—Max Weber (1864–1920)
“When we try in good faith to believe in materialism, in the exclusive reality of the physical, we are asking our selves to step aside; we are disavowing the very realm where we exist and where all things precious are kept—the realm of emotion and conscience, of memory and intention and sensation.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“Without being bound to the fulfillment of promises, we would never be able to keep our identities; we would be condemned to wander helplessly and without direction in the darkness of each man’s lonely heart, caught in its contradictions and equivocalities—a darkness which only the light shed over the public realm through the presence of others, who confirm the identity between the one who promises and the one who fulfills, can dispel.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
