Dwarf
Kingdoms rich in ancient grandeur, halls carved into the roots of mountains, the echoing of picks and hammers in deep mines and blazing forges, a commitment to clan and tradition, and a burning hatred of goblins and orcs—these common threads unite all dwarves. (D&D PHB)
Gray Dwarf (Duergar), Hill Dwarf and Mountain Dwarf.
They live all over Vagan but the most talked about place for them is Doghboldohr, the underground city in Tirra under the Island of Zeorun.

Naming Traditions
A dwarf’s name is granted by a clan elder, in accordance with tradition. Every proper dwarven name has been used and reused down through the generations.
