Dwarves

Dwarves (or Neyre as they name themselves) Are a race of small humanoids with large amounts of fat and a shrewd eye for commerce. Their origins can be traced back to the lands of Kangolar, far south of Aimane. A number of Dwarves migrated east over the straits of Nannu to Aimane in the second passing, where they settled along the coast of Aimane. The Dwarves who reached furthest north found no room for independent cities within the realms of the nine kingdoms, and thus they founded a new state on the fringes of the Wastes of Mirvania, Goldarihr. Straddling the eastern slopes of the Hinilli mountains, the Dwarves have proven skillful at breathing new life into the deadlands as an alternative realm to the harsh Hinilli highlands, and from the ashes a land of rivers cropfields and green hills bloomed up under the vigilant protection of the Dwarves. Neyre in Aimane, unlike their Kangolari kinsmen, have a migratory history and thus are well-known for making do with lacking resources and local opposition by human populations. It brought them closer together, and Dwarves have strong unitary ideals; A Dwarf does not pick a fight with a Dwarf. Their travel spirit has given them commercial opportunities, and throughout the continent Dwarves are organized in trade organisations with a strong presence in all the nine kingdoms. While generally disliked by humans for their strange customs, the Dwarves have avoided suffering the same fate as the Aerin by showing themselves as reliable partners in trade as well as warfare.
