Here I have a compromise, the small village MrHobbit speaks of is sitting in a place rich with iron far richer than the rest of the iron hills, but the location of the village makes it hard for more than 50 or so people to live there without running out of food and supplies. Nális family were the first to live in such valley and for the longest time mined and shipped their iron alone slowly growing there wealth. Then other dwarves come and the colony is founded into a real colony, with Nális family as the richest.
