Lore
"Any hammer can make metal ring, but only a Dwarf can make metal sing."
The Dwarves of Eldetha are renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship, merchant prowess, and skill in stonework. They are also known as formidable warriors. While welcoming to all, Dwarven holds are filled with secrets known only to those within the Clan. On the surface, Dwarves may appear to have only a few strongholds, but beneath lies a vast network of hidden pathways leading to great underground cities and sources of untold riches.
The history of the Dwarves is one of peace. They have never sought war and were reluctant to join the Dragon War, but ultimately decided that they could not turn away from the suffering and destruction inflicted by the Dragon and Dragonborn that served them.
Society and Culture
Dwarven society is highly organized and clan-based, with each clan tracing its lineage back to ancient ancestors. Honor, loyalty, and hard work are core values in dwarven culture. Clan ties are strong, and dwarves take great pride in their family heritage and achievements.
