Dwarf

A short and stocky race, the dwarves are known for their iron-like resolve and master craftsmanship. In times past, the dwarves traded heavily with the Elves of the midland forests and the men of the mountains, but after the sack of the holy dwarven city of Urchell Citadel in 743 and the death of Mecademus I following the Crusade of Mecademus, the dwarves have largely cut ties with the outside world. Dwarves of outlying citadels still find time to trade with the men of Dorrel and Stonetooth, and even as far down the mountains as Sabletown but seldom do they leave the safety of their mountains in any great numbers.
