Dwarf

The stout dwarven race is renowned for their prowess as warriors and blacksmiths. Hailing from massive mountain fortresses carved into the living rock itself, dwarves are a naturally militaristic folk and favor physical combat over the arcane arts.

In addition to their martial skills, dwarves are unmatched masters of metallurgy and weaponsmithing. From an early age, they are trained in forging and tempering techniques passed down over generations. A dwarf- tempered blade is tougher, sharper, and more destructive than those made by other races.
