Dwarves (Of Nidavellir)

The Dwarves of Nidavellir are some of the most renowned members of history. It was their innovation, technology and values, that became the backbone of advancement in this section of the cosmos. It was the dwarves that built the Aesir’s ships, weapons, suits, and even playthings that fed off the worldsoul’s energy. However, in return the Aesir functionally viewed them as slaves and did all they could to keep the Dwarves subject to them. It was only after years and years of mistreatment and exploitation that the dwarves finally said enough and aided in the plot that resulted in Ragnarök. With the Aesir gone the dwarves could finally spend their days building their own dreams. And so, they did; utilizing the unique worldsoul empowering their civilization; The Forge Worldsoul

Heartcrafts are typically very ornate yet always functional and include personal imagery of the dwarf who uses it.
