Narúrtic Dwarves

Narúrtic dwarven languages: T'úarax /tʼuːaraks/ , Túarak /thuaʁaːkh/ , 'Úarahl /ʔuaːɹal̥/
Þrínic: Ollgúrir /ɔlːkurɪːr/ , singular: Ollgúrír /ɔlːkuriːr/
Öþranic: Ohlolgúril /ɔl̥ɔːlɢuɹɪːl/ , Gúngúril /ɢuːnɢuɹɪːl/
The narúrtic dwarves1 are an ethnic group of mixed dwarven and goblin origin found in the region of Ójom in eastern Jælondis, particularly Narúrt along the coast of the Þnisic Sea. The most common goblin names for narúrtic dwarves are ollgúrir/ohlolgúrir and gúngúril, meaning unarmed2 or tamed dwarves, respectively, while the most of the former refer to themselves as simply dwarves.

History

Their ancestors were a mixture of ójomic dwarves related to modern Kikrans or Njóþans who were subjugated by the old goblin empire of Onþók as it expanded upriver from the eastern coast, some of whom assimilated to this new society and formed a caste of brewers and stonemasons.
While the dwarves east of the river Úkún eventually revolted during Onþók's tumultuous transformation into to the empire of Ama, the ones in inhabiting the coastal region continued developing their own syncretic culture. Their cuisine in particular, centered on ale, barley bread, savory pastries and to lesser extent sheep cheese- and milk, has contributed to a number of new dishes among the goblins, particularly in Biþræ and Ilúnún.
While no longer forming a caste or restricted to eastern Ójom, many narúrtic dwarves still work as bakers, brewers and artisans in the countries that appeared after the dissolution of Ama, and some have become famous for their work. Notable examples includes the celebrity chef Ja'arihl and the sculptor Töjúp.
Their relationship with other dwarven communities has been more mixed, ranging from hostilities with the kikrans to being mostly amicable with the Q'eillans in the Southlands.
