Dwarves (Lords of the Mountain)

Dwarves (Lords of the Mountain)  

    Dwarves were created at the same time as the Humans and Elves. Since the beginning they have sought to be one with the earth. Digging great mines and burrows. Always preferring to be low to the ground. While small in population the Dwarves have great skill in battle and in crafting superior weaponry.

    Since the Time of Awakening the Dwarves have been at war with the Greenskins. Waging war on them for centuries. Dwarves are small in stature, but not small in heart or strength. Dwarves are usually of Good alignment, but will not easily suffer a Greenskin or Northdweller to live among them.

    Dwarves will never ride steeds into battle preferring to ambush their opponents. They will usually seek training in mining or crafting as a skill set for the world. Vicious in battle, they prefer to use axes or hammers as opposed to swords. Dwarves take pride in their armor and believe it to be as much a part of them as their arms. They usually live in great mountain halls or in hilly burrows with few major cities. Most take to a life of religion if they aren’t a craftsmen or miner.

     Dwarves will often fight in small skirmish groups which can often lead to them being outnumbered. These groups are called "Opocs" which is Dwarvish for "From the same Axe"
