Dwarf

Dwarves were created by the Forge Tender. They are a stubborn race of creatures who are obsessed with material wealth and tradition. They can prove to be stalwart allies to any who gain their trust. Along with the gnomes, they are the most technologically advanced of all races, and they typically bring their ornate siege cannons to war against their enemies. Simple firearms are also used by small specialized units within the Dwarven armies.

Dwarves can be found throughout Nasria, with the largest concentration being in the mountainholds of Ghrot Barak and Thord Morndin in Ventaris. The exiled Dwarven king sits on his throne of Thuldor in Asanora. He was exiled because he backed the elves in the Great War. Urn Tor is the smallest of the Dwarven mountainholds that is home to the desert dwarves of the Vashrund Desert.

Some of the dwarves abandoned the surface and began a cult to the Tunneler. These dwarves became Deurgar and created a sprawling underground empire in the Underdark.
