Dwarves

The coals were hot and set, The fires tended, The metals were forged Swords were crafted. The weapons of War were built.     They were there from the start, they came from the rock and clay, they molded their brethren as easily as the Ilmir had molded them. They were the dwarves and they knew no fear. They came from the mountains they still inhabit. They watch from on high, as the world of man and elf bicker over line of territory. They look on while dragons fly overhead seeking the wealth of dwarves.   The dwarves

    Molding of Flesh
    Founding

    Illmir created the dwarves as a race of cave dwellers and miners that sought to tame the metal, mold it, and craft weapons and armor of excellence. After the initial molding, the dwarves took to themselves and worked on creating a kingdom in the mountains. The kingdom was built up via trade with the humans in the nearby woods, to the west.   The great leader and eventually the Grand Advisor of the Dwarves, Morigak Stonebeard, led the dwarves from the Silent Stone mountains to the Peaks of Illmir outside the would be human kingdom.
