Dwarfs

Racial Relations
Dwarfs are said to be as old as the mountains themselves, however Dwarves are known to say a lot of things about their mountains. Occupying the rather central continent of Vaalhal, Dwarves are well connected to a lot of the world. With the ability to oversee the entrances of their mountain ranges from both Gendal and Farßhel, Dwarves have never feared invading armies. However they have always given free passage to anyone.

The Dwarven alliance with the Humans is very economical, trade comes in from both sides of the realm, primarily trading foods and furs for Dwarven minerals and metals. Dwarfs have a neutral alliance with the Elves; however have great friendship with the Halflings of Nahael. Ancient Dwarven politics have led to dislike of the Elves in some towns, yet the hate for the Elves is not as strong as Dwarf’s hate for Gnomes; in Vaalhal Gnomes are seen as shorter, sillier Dwarfs; a disgraceful race.

The major Dwarf cities are large economic capitals, with good sea connections many merchants stop by to vendor their wares. Trade caravans are commonly seen in Farßhel heading the way of Ragohiem. Similarly Dwarven platoons are posted on the outskirts of Farßhel to halt any groups that go crazy in the vast desert.
