Dwarves are a hardy people, as sturdy and solid as stone. Most dwarves believe they were sculpted from living rock and were given life in the forge of a progenitor god.

The first dwarven cities were built below the world’s surface, filling chiseled mountain halls and sprawling caverns deep within the earth. Plentiful ore and minerals led to mastery of stoneworking and metalworking, giving these first dwarves tools to survive the monsters lurking near their homes.

As ages passed, dwarves spread across many lands. Some chose lives far from their ancestral halls. However, dwarves still bear many adaptations that allowed their ancestors to thrive, including vision suited for sunless caverns and resistances to the poisonous denizens of the world below.
