Isolationism (CBD)

__TOC__
The dwarves' desire for isolation should be no surprise. Clannish by nature, many are suspicious even of dwarves from other clans, to say nothing of other strongholds.
It is among mountain dwarves that isolationism is strongest. Mountain dwarves prefer not to deal with other races. They even have difficulty understanding hill dwarves. Some of them believe that hill dwarves have been contaminated by living closely to other races; "hill dwarves have lost the rock of their dwarvishness."
All dwarves have a tendency to isolationism; to what extent that affects individual player characters depends on the background of the character.
