Dwarves

The second most populous people of the Courts, the Dwarves are a dying breed. Some say dead, in fact. They keep to their halls, but their ruins dot the countryside throughout all the Courts, save Cups. They are known for their magical crafts - most magic that has been bottled, branded, captured or woven has been made by dwarvish hands, and the loss of these noble people will be tragically felt. What is making the dwarves disappear? A disease? A curse? None are willing to share with the outside world. Also, they’re slavers. Let’s not forget that. Half-orcs exist because of them and are slaves because of it, too.
