Dwarves

Dwarves
Short and stocky, the dwarves of Oddegar can be found in secluded pockets all around the world. They tend to live in mountainous regions, building massive underground cities far away from the reaches of the other races due to their solitary behavior. The stubborn nature of dwarves has made their spirits hard as stone, granting them an increased resistance to magic, but greatly reducing their ability to use it.

Though the Dwarves have a current reputation as hardy, reliable, honorable warriors and esteemed craftsman, they were not always viewed as such. During the first era, when t'he first dwarf lord and his clan ventured to the surface world, their inexperience and survival-based mindset created by hundreds of years of life underground caused many massacre-like battles with Humans, Elves and many other races. It came to the point where the other races began to fear the Dwarves, often telling frightening stories of them at taverns, and painting them to be a supernatural entity to scare misbehaving children. 'The Muckborn nicknamed them the “Cave Demons” due to their fierce, guerilla warfare tactics, and terrifying war cries and brutality in combat.

After many years of continued contact with other races, eventually the attempts to establish peace between Humanity and Dwarven Folk succeeded, thus ushering in a new age of prosperity as alloys and materials unique to the two races were shared.

It took the Dwarves many decades to repair their reputation and build a new one, as esteemed craftsmen and blacksmiths. They were regaled throughout the lands as the best of the best, second to none. "If you want to live to the see the day, get a suit of Dwarven plate."

They built a home country founded entirely on dwarven steel and iron, leading to their land’s economy exploding in a remarkable manner. With their unmatchable wealth, a majority of the dwarves left their homeland to establish new homes and towns in the other regions of the world.
