Dwarf

***Three words that best describe dwarves are short, stout, and skilled. Believed to have arisen from the resting places of the Legendary Titans, Dwarves find themselves drawn to mountains, caves, and tunnels. They enjoy the thrills of mining and working the raw ores formed by thousands of years of Pokémon activity. They deep rooted sense of tradition.***

### Dwarves in Sumondia

Many dwarves travelled through the mountains with the First Settlers, where they were instrumental in the construction and formation of Frostpeak City. Dwarven clans didn't venture down into The Frontierlands until long after The Exiles, but they were among the first to venture East into The Newlands and established several mines between The Dragonpool and the desert.

The majority of dwarves still live in The Newlands, tending to the mines or living at the foot of the great mountain around Frostpeak City. There is also a large collection of dwarves living in the caves / rocky hills south of the desert, just north of Esteelia City. The dwarven work ethic and natural strength mean many took to work on the docks of Esteelia City or aboard trade vessels there. The abundant population of dwarves mean that they can be found throughout Sumondia with a diverse range of lifestyles.
