Dwarf

The children of the earth. The orators of its ancient mysteries. The dwarves are a kinfolk known for their deep connection to the fallen civilizations that dot the world, the once-great empires that have been swallowed by the earth. For some, they carry these stories on in craftsmanship, attempting to capture the once great heights of their fallen ancestors.  

Works of the Forbearers

  The dwarves are known for their unparalleled craftsmanship and consolidation of riches and artifacts. Each sub-race and clan has its owns specialty, often tied to their history and particular deities. Each dwarf is shaped by their own cultural identities. For some, it's the pursuit of maintaining and memorializing their ancient legacy. For others, they are driven to revive their ancient empires and ascend back to their place of superiority. For different clans still, they are driven by a desire to rediscover ancient secrets of craftsmanship buried with the ancestors.

Intimately connected to the ancient Dragons and other beasts of the region, the Red Dwarves get their moniker from their practice of refashioning natural materials. Their capital city, Drujek, is emblematic of their culture, built into the stomach of a fossilzed corpse of the dragon Asyrathax.
