Lunara's 'Dwarf City' is a unique part of the town, as it is populated exclusively by Corummese citizens born with dwarfism. [[Dwarfism in Corumm]] has historically been seen by Corummese society as the product of divine retribution leading to dwarves being shunned throughout history or categorized as devious and untrustworthy. Many dwarves then choose to seclude themselves or gather only with other dwarves. In the year 2005 Lunsoc started a flyer campaign inviting dwarves to settle in their planned settlement of Lunara, with housing being provided at a token cost. The campaign saw hundreds of applications from dwarves all over the country. An initial two hundred were selected for the program to form the core of the dwarven district. The rationale for [[Lunsoc]]'s campaign has never been made public but there are numerous rumors such as that the dwarves would be enslaved and turned into a caste of diminutive servants for the Lunsoc leadership or that the dwarves would be a source of income by renting them out for events. In any event, none of these theories came to pass and more dwarves were accepted such that the number living in town rose to around five hundred by 2020. | Lunara's 'Dwarf City' is a unique part of the town, as it is populated exclusively by Corummese citizens born with dwarfism.

[[Lunsoc]] authorities saw fit to give the dwarven sector a high degree of authonomy to govern their own affairs. Consequently the dwarves decided on the election of a single dwarf as their representative and district authority for life, the 'Head Dwarf'. The Head Dwarf is accorded various privileges such as the right to wear royal regalia, have a ceremonial guard with him at all times, be provided with a living salary and a big people chair to preside over meetings and community gatherings. | [[Lunsoc]] authorities saw fit to give the dwarven sector a high degree of authonomy to govern their own affairs.
