Dwarves

----
Dwarves (ドワーフ, Dowāfu) are a group of human-like creatures whose origin can be traced back to the country of Vadel on the continent of Valhalla. Dwarves have faced much hardship and prejudice throughout their existence but in modern times they have become known as the most economically intellectual race in all of Firdaus, known most for their industrial success and their skill in smithing.
==Description==
The exact origins of Dwarves are not known or recorded in any discovered ancient history but like most humanoid creatures they are believed to be related to humans in some way with Dwarves being one of the closest living relatives to the human race. They occupy and rule the country of Vadel where they have lived for thousands of years. The country was once well known for its abundance of mineable resources which made the country and the Dwarven race a target for the more powerful countries surrounding it. This is believed to be what shaped the warrior culture found in Vadel, Dwarves finding honor and pride in battle which is easily reflected in their strong military might and craftsmen ship. Dwarves used their abundance of resources to create many advancements in technology such as machines that helped them mine as well as weapons that lasted long after most grew dull and shattered.
After establishing their place in history and proving they would not be beaten by those who tried to take their country by force, the Dwarves began to trade their resources with the outside world. This saw their country begin to prosper in ways the Dwarves had only dreamed of, the money pouring in from their trade saw to an industrial revolution within Vadel and the rise of larger cities and industries within the country. Their influence began to spread outside of their home country when they began to open shops and businesses within the other countries in Valhalla and eventually spreading to Ashvattha as well.
Dwarven physiology isn't very different from that of their human cousins, having all of the same organs bone structure aside from their more compact forms. Dwarves are often very muscular, possessing great strength that is often just a little bit stronger than that of the average human. Male dwarves take great pride in their facial hair, growing and braiding their beards in different patterns. Males and females both can often be seen adorned with tattoos of cultural significance that represent their family, homeland, and achievements throughout their lives. Dwarves are a very religious group who honor and pray to Gods of battle and metalworks with some also worshipping Gods of fortune.
==Trivia==
Dwarves are known for their love of drinking, having a higher tolerance for alcohol than most other humanoid species.
