Dwarf

## Information

The dwarves are good at making anything due to their natural Dexterity and aesthetics. They are able to distinguish beautiful things and make it directly. The one and only Dwarf Royal Palace was built by melting gold, and it is the crystallization of dwarf techniques. The dwarves are famous for devoting themselves to their work. The hammers in their hands are a sacred tool. The dwarves are not a race that focus on combat. Only a handful of them are warriors and they protect the royal castle.

The dwarf's obsession transcends death—the saying is not an exaggeration at all, but instead grounded in reality. The dwarves' life expectancy is only three times that of Humans, but there were some dwarves who lived longer than Elves. It is because they could not die until they completed their work... it is a case of surviving and exceeding the limits of life. They forget to die while making items. They would not have ordinary personalities. The dwarves are the type to turn a blind eye even if a madman suddenly pops out naked.

Myth rated masterpieces are stimulating the dwarves' sense of craftsmanship. Those who had lived for hundreds of years witnessed numerous masterpieces, yet they are still impressed by the level of work comparable to any other masterpiece. But not all dwarves will feel admiration. For the dwarf craftsmen who have ‘experienced an obsession surpassing death,’ myth rated items are only all dead things when there is no soul at all. There is only a glossy surface just like garbage. A Craftsman must achieve a rapport with his works. The soul and rapport—the concept is the ‘ego’ as in Ego Items.

A dwarf's neck is twice as thick as a human's neck. Dwarves live not only in Talima, but also outside.

## Dwarf Warrior

Dwarf Warriors are rare. Due to the nature of the dwarves who worship labor over strength, the total population that are warriors is said to be less than 1%. There are almost no records of the dwarf warriors because they does not act outside. They only defend the dwarf palace but their great potential is the reason why the city-state Talima is able to survive tenaciously among the powers of the continent. But they are still dwarves. With their innate discerning eyes, the dwarf warriors are able to recognize the value of their enemy equipment, and make expressions of shock and admiration when they see valuable equipment.

The dwarf warriors are armed with hatchets, wearing golden armor and looks as glamorous as any other royal guards. The unusual thing is that they use axes as a weapon. They are somewhat less ordinary than royal guards armed with swords, but they are more threatening. The axes of the big warriors seems like it could split the moon in half, and they show excellent defense. The beard and ferocious appearance make people think of mountain bandits but the dwarf warriors are taking a formation as soon as they realize that there is a formidable opponent. They have a great response and are very agile to block surprise attacks. Their attack power is also good as they counterattack. Their axe attacks may stuck deep in the ground to feel an awful pain the moment if an attack is allowed.

The level of armor worn by the dwarf warriors is very high. It seems to be unique rated at the minimum and it is hard to subdue them with only basic attacks. The health gauge will be barely reduced despite being stabbed by a powerful attack. They may scream in pain after an attack but as expected, there are no serious injuries. The dwarves does not shed a single drop of blood when hit. Their body itself is very strong, and combined with their items, they boasted a defense that is beyond the average level.
