Dwarves

Introduction
The Dwarves are stocky, short, and bearded humanoids. They tend to have significantly longer lifespans than humans [living up to or above 250 years of age], and are said to have, "the nimblest yet sturdiest hands of any creature," which many were said to utilize in their crafts. Legends state they came from the Far North, a land beyond Rathnir and Eldham. Not much is known if other dwarves still exist in the Far North. Most dwarves live in the Underrealm, in their vast underground kingdoms.

Summary
The Dwarves of Rathnir and Eldham are a hardy people, though very few in number. They tend to feast and drink often and they are very social with their own. Dwarves in Rathnir and Eldham seem to have different religious beliefs, but even so they still respect their own kind. Dwarven society is normally composed of a king with a council made up of various clans and groups, however, the forms of dwarven society vary in some nations of Rathnir and Eldham. Throughout history dwarves have never been fully united while they existed, always living in city-states carved into mountains and remaining as neutral as possible in world conflicts (Also often staying under themselves). Dwarven Clans were numerous, but sometimes had to flee their dwarven holds, only a handful are known to remain. The dwarven language consists of the Khazalid.
