Dwarf

Dwarves are widely believed the be the second oldest bipedal race among sentient species. Their hardened nature and stoic demeanor make them seem standoffish at first, but they are generally easy to befriend and are not above having a good time with friends. Mining and smithing are their most common trade skills and the majority of them like underground beneath mountains where they carve massive and intricate tunnels and rooms from the rock and ground. While not as isolated as the elves, they will question outsiders who wander into their lands. Their main city is burrowed into the heart of Bromdal Mountain with vast intricate tunnels and rooms carved throughout.
