History

When the two dwarven races diverged, the Dvergr travelled to the mountainous region of northcentral Ecíos. Over the course of their journey, they found themselves in need of aid, calling out to the Ðíos, Toř'Dis replied, giving them the strength and will to continue through the harsh cold of the ice bridge between Kvenland and Ecíos. Following the way of their new patron Deity, Toř'Dis, they named themselves "people of the earth", starting their new lives as miners in a land they called the sea of stone. From here they disappeared for a while, burrowing deep and creating their magnificent halls within the mountains of Nenerum.

Due to them being removed from much of the outside world, they're often distrustful of other races, even their fellow dwarves, the Korrigans.
