Tar Taargadth (pronounced TAHR TAHR-gahdth) was a truly ancient and long-lived dwarven empire which united the race into a common culture for over 6,500 years. It was founded by the great general Taargick in -5133 AR during the dwarves' Quest for Sky. Arguments and infighting had brought the great drive for the surface of Golarion to a halt. Taargick consolidated power under him and declared himself king, refocusing his people's attention and completing the drive out of the Darklands in -4987 AR.
