Dwarf

The dwarves are great crafter and fierce warrior

Lore
The dwarves are a short but stout race that lives underground. No known dwarf has ever been gifted with magical affinity and thus had to rely on techonological advancement. Living underground gave them a huge advantage when it came to mining and minerals as they can reach and find veins and deposits faster than any other race.

History All of the 1st Era the dwarves kept to themselves within the mountain slowly but steadily become the empire they are known for. This would also cause their magic resistance for the good and bad. During this era the dwarves formed clans.

In the start of the 2nd Era the Goldhammers found the richest veins of ores ever in dwarven history and it is still not emptied to date. The wealth and resources this new mine brought the Goldhammers to a whole new level of existence, for not only did this make more dwarves move to them but it let the Goldhammers equip themselves with greater gear than their enemies. The year 251 2nd Era the Goldhammers brought the dwarven clans together under the rule of the Goldhammers. This was to be the start of their empire.

In the year 9518 2nd Era the dwarves came enter a war which would become known as "The mine war". For 75 years the dwarves fought the war slowly loosing until humans joined in. Only with the help of the humans could they turn the tide and eradicate their enemy.

During the start of the 3rd Era a dwarven clan ventured out of the mountain to settle, they managed to settle the great city of Rockslide.

Society Before the Goldhammers united the dwarven race they lived in clans. For the most part they were peaceful and content trading with the other clans. Being in a dwarven clan was like being in a large family as they all took great care of eachother and in times of war exacted blood revenge against guilty clans. If a clan went to war they painstakingly had to obliviate the opposing clan down to the last child as to keep any claims of a blood feud from rising.

After the Goldhammers created the empire which is known today the borders of the clans dissipated but the bonds remained, which the emperor expected.
