Firearms

From pistols to blunderbusses to explosive sticks, the dwarves' mastery of combustion has been weaponised for their wars with drow, duergar and other aberrations that dwell in the Underdark. Just before the Age Of Flight, dwarves began trading these weapons with surface races, which lead to the invention of airship technology.
