Ossaca's resident gold-diggers, the capitalistic dwarves go wherever the
riches are to be made, something which has made them plenty of enemies in
their long, colourful history. The complete opposite of Abeh's religious
zealots, worshipping no particular god, it is perhaps surprising then that
their main enemy is the humans, who live on Palatania's resource-rich
western flank.
Famous for their short, stunted appearance, there are many dwarves who
conform to the ruddy face, bushy beard and pot belly stereotype. Of course,
there are many who do not as well. Indeed, some dwarves are now pursuing
nobler causes than gold. Strong fighters, dwarves make good knights, but the
magic of mages often eludes them.
The dwarves have lived in Shyreglen Town for centuries. It is a raucous town
full of drinking establishments and rowdy merchants, just as the dwarves
would have it.
