Dwarves (Underground)

The dwarves in the underground took themselves down a few separate paths. The majority of them kept their cities closer to the surface. They build up impressive fortifications at the entrances to their cities, marking the entrance to traders from the skies and other underground cities. Behind and beneath these fortifications are massive cities carved into the stone. The natural caverns are used as communal spaces like parks and markets. Simple dwarven homes vary, they are carved out of the stone and generally large enough to fit an extended family. These cities are all connected to their mines. The mines dig out the mineral and metals nearby and build up forges between the mines and the city. Once the dwarves tap out their mine shafts, some of them are expanded and refined into roadways. Other dwarves dug deeper into the dirt, refusing all connection to the surface and called themselves the “duergar.” These people are iron hard and have decided to subsist entirely on what they can produce themselves. They refuse visitors and are aggressive towards outsiders.
