The two, and only mountains of Ula provide shelter for the Dwarves. They have built their homes inside of the rock, and only emerge to sell the weapons and trinkets they've crafted. Doing so, they aren't usually aware of the goings on in Ula and charge prices that were once affordable, but now extremely expensive. The red stone that the dwarves use as currency among themselves is highly coveted by the humans, and is worth the greatest amount of goods. This red stone once caused a war among the humans and dwarves. Thus, the dwarves refer to the rubies as "Haarak-oth-Guthor" literaly meaning "Stone of red life"
