Then why would Stoneheim collapse the babrican when they heard about the fall of Myrgard? I think the empire of the dwarves we see in Myth is at the low point in its history with only one city standing (unless the dwarves of Stoneheim still live underground) But I think during the last light age the dwarves were much larger and more prosperous but when the dark came again they had to retreat back into their fortress-cities to weather the assault. Besides we know that the dwarves had a king, Albrecht. Maybe he was king before the sword age and the ephors were like the governors of the two biggest cities with the King above them.
