Special Realm Rules

Trade routes to dwarven provinces give one extra GB of income.

Dwarven provinces have a maximum level or 9 in any mountain or hill province, otherwise half the level of the maximum province level for humans. See the Birthright Rulebook, p 96, round all fractions up. To go over level 7, a dwarven province must have a trade route to an agricultural province near by.
