Dwarves
Dwarves
The dwarves are a proud and doughty people, united in their allegiance to clan and High King. There are two realms uniting the dwarf clans: the kingdom of the Dwargrim in the Jotunshield Mountains and the kingdom of the Enanir in the Spine. While the two realms have different cultures and philosophies, all dwarves respect their bonds as kin – especially in these dark days. Some rare dwarf families dwelt beyond the mountains, plying their trades as merchants or craftspeople in the great cities of the world, but those who have survived now desperately make for the safety of the halls of their forebears.
