    The Emergence of Dwarves
    Population Migration / Travel

    From the depth of the earth, the first dwarves come. Escaping ancient slavery or simply the first exemplars of their own race it is unknown. But they are aggressive, well organized, and determined to carve out their own kingdom close to the surface.  few things suggest that the dwarves may date back to the Aeslidar or even predate them as evidenced by their deep scorn for the Highborn.

    Start of the First Draconic-Dawi War
    Diplomatic action

    Peace talks are initiated between the dwarves and the dragons who had already claimed Far Reach, during the peace-talks the dwarves are asked to leave Far Reach or exist below ground. The dwarves promptly refuse to leave with King Drumi the Third stating that "The dwarves will move when the mountains will." as fate would have it a great wyrm that slumbered as a mountain moves and proved the dwarves wrong when it decided to stretch its wings and take off. Later said wyrm came down to hold the dwarves to their word. To which he received spiteful rhetoric: "Mountains do not bleed!" upon which Drumi the Third stabbed the wyrm in the eye. Drumi the Third does not live to regret that decision. Thus begins the first Draconic-Dawi war.   Despite the dragons' aid and the use of sorcerous magic, the dragons are incapable fo shifting the dwarves from their stronghold around the plains of Yroham. Dwarves prove a powerful enemy using runic enchantments and golems to rival the draconic races and matching the savagery with grim almost fatalistic determination. It is said that not a single dwarf was taken prisoner during the whole conflict. After the first few years of intense conflict the war becomes a series of skirmishes and amounts to a tense stalemate maintained for almost over two centuries.
