Dwarf: Difference between revisions

Stout and hearty dwarves are the masters of the subterranean realm where their ingenuity and natural affinity with the earth see them digging mighty underground cities and building long lasting civilizations. Endless dangers prowl the lightless caverns and dwarves have developed their mastery of trap and defense against all manner of threats both above and below. Dwarven fortresses are some of the most impenetrable bastions in the known world. While many dwarves took to subterranean dwellings as a way to avoid the horrendous scourge of Kaijan during the first supereon, an intrepid nation of dwarves stayed on the surface and fought back. Those mighty dwarves that killed a fearsome Kaijan and used an ancient, mysterious artifact to turn the Kaijan’s corpse into the first dragon are often held in reverie by other dwarven nations. Dwarves are generally distinguished by three sublineages: the mountain dwarf, crag dwarf, and deep dwarf. Mountain dwarves, or “Strugar”, carve their homes in the tallest peaks and laud their thick beards and natural [[resistance]] to the coldest heights. Crag dwarves, or “Kharn’Khan” build their cities within massive canyons, both natural and dwarf-made, where each layer is carefully excavated and then settled. Lastly, the beardless, pale- skinned deep dwarves, or “Uhn’Gunder”, settle within the deepest caves of the earth where stories of “daylight” are told to frighten children.

Dwarves of all types pride their craftsmanship and architecture. They honor their ancestors with massive shrines.  

Deep dwarves are naturally the most isolated of the sublineages and tend to be wary of outside influences. Their dangerous environments leave them little room for arts or frivolity and their societies focus more on survival than long-term legacy. They have a particular affinity for the ancient technologies and structures found below the earth and have absorbed much of their discoveries into their own societies. In fact, many deep dwarf nations have large populations of remnants, as well as smaller but notable populations of [[raedeen]].

'''Height:''' 3’6” - 4’6”

'''International Outlook:''' While dwarves tend to be insular in their communities, they frequently engage in trade and cooperation with friendly civilizations. They often form powerful alliances with elves, humans, and [[kleppin]] societies.
