In 760, the Gibil-Nâru clan severed its connections with the Kingdom of Phlehorn. The Gibil-Nâru relocated their operations eastward to the wooded hills and lower mountain slopes of the Siguzilbak forest. Over the ensuing twenty years, the clan's population expanded due to the addition of other groups with a more aggressive approach to the region's threats.

In the Sixth Siguzilbak War ( 776 - 784 ) , Phlehorn 's mercenary armies captured the Kuladul capital Carororn. Upon declaring victory, the Whiteblood mercenary armies of the Gibil-Nâru established a new dwarven kingdom, renaming Carororn as Bolnalmak, the capital of this nascent monarchy. Its first ruler was the Saint-Queen Fargimdal, a hero of the war who had endured numerous mortal wounds and survived. On the same day the kingdom was founded under her name, war priests of Ares proclaimed her a saint.

In the First Kizan War spanning from 980 to 1005, the kingdom concentrated their efforts on fortifying their Underdark territories. This was done to create an additional communication link with Rumaktharga. For much of the war's duration, this Fargimdal city remained isolated, entrenched beyond the mountains and cut off by Rúmil's armies.

In 1584, an Engineen blimp landed in the territory of Fargimdal. After trade negotiations, the Engineen exchanged their steam technology for Fargimdal's understanding of concrete. The Phorngoads utilized this steam technology to construct a massive rail network called the Kibar-Kûn. A powerful company known as Phorngoad Rail controls the majority of this network. This company provides substantial tax revenue to Fargimdal's treasury and wields significant influence within the government.

Fargimdal maintains a modest fleet of skyships. These are primarily utilized in remote mines, such as the Honeycomb Mine located in Fros Idar. Owing to the magical regenerative qualities of Gwaellurth, Fargimdal has emerged as a prominent timber exporter. Along the banks of the Tunzâr as it flows through Siguzilbak, numerous mills can be found. The nation's products are typically transported by river and rail.

The Fargimdal are adversaries of the Rúmil. The combatants contend for dominance over Siguzilbak. The dwarves surveil the forest while mounted on colossal beetles and other reptilian creatures. The Fargimdal also deploy ironclad maulers within their armed forces. Predictably, the utilization of these magically constructed formidable beasts is an insult to the elves.
