Ah I forgot about the Sereathan Knights, was there just one order (Crimson Spire) mentioned in the books?

Perhaps the dwarves of Throal try to set up a feudalistic society with the current king portioning out land to (the Earthdawn equivalent of) barons, dukes, earls etc. It would seem a simple thing to do and of course you'd have plenty of conflict with various cities/towns/villages rebelling against the feudal system.
