Dwarf

The second of the First Mortals, Dwarves were raised from the earth during the Age of Creation and have an affinity for stone and metal. The gods also made them resilient like the mountains, with a life span of about 350 years. Squat and often bearded, the original dwarves carved cities and strongholds into mountainsides and under the earth, however they have yet to reclaim these cities or knowledge after being freed from the Eldfell Konungr.

Subspecies

Duergar: An austere, disciplined, and fiercely isolationist offshoot of the dwarves from the Age of Creation. They did not suffer the enslavement experienced by many in the Age of Titans, instead hiding out within the subterranean realms under The Southlands.
