Dwarf (Race)

Dwarves are native of the northernmost continent of Korrugat, and reside in their country of Volsung. A hearty and strong people, their main trades consist of mining, logging, smithing, and crafting. Volsung dwarves are born and raised in the cold, and are generally regarded as curt and straightforward people. In 1960 AL, the previous Volsung king launched a massive genocide on the country's halflings, an event known as the Tempering. This event ultimately led to the execution of the Volsung mad king by Axiphosi and Ayahn combined forces, as well as the forfeiture of the what are now the Sindu Isles. Dwarves among the Strait A’s, Vespia, and elsewhere have generally assimilated into human culture with no problem. In Axiphos, they make up about a tenth of the population, with the rest being human; they skew to a the majority in the most northern part of the country, by the Volsung border.
