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. | 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.

|You can see in darkness to a limit, even without any light source. While using darkvision, you can see up to 30 ft, and then are blind beyond that point. | |You can see in [[darkness]] to a limit, even without any light source.
