Dwarves.

Dwarves dominate the financial and mercantile world in The Bay. Few live underground anymore, due to a combination of lava-flooding and a rush to sell the masses of crystalline. Rumors of some communities surviving from five hundred years ago.
First Rune found by Runelord Dajkihn, far underground. He began the Dwarven Runewars, which ended in the destruction of the Dwarven Guilds, and the remaining Dwarves surfaced.
The Dwarves claim Shaper Gekkar build everything from Stygia, The Primordial Chaos, using it as the building blocks for reality.
Dwarves are very charismatic, having integrated with humans equally throughout the Bay of Evandyr, and unified a exchange of currency through the land. This is a stark contrast to their ancient heritage as aggressive and territorial beings, run completely by merchants underground. It is because of Dwarves that civilizations can work with each other, why Golryon has great towers and walls and fortresses throughout, in addition to bridges spanning a thousand feet long. Human and Dwarven kind are linked since the founding of Golryon, and are nearly one people in Gol.
