The Dwarves
Deep in the belly of the Tanoroth mountain for aeons the dwarvencommunity of Rivellon has always been isolated tribes worshipping the elements and especially their beloved ore. The origin is very unknown. They were always there and they probably always will be. Dwarves were long time known as the traders and crafters of very skilled, valuable armors, weapons and gems. Lately with the upcoming racial problems in the entire realm this has stagnated, but there are still a few believers who didnīt follow their King Kelp Dunatrim into the silence of the stone. Among them are the mage priests which carried the cult of the elements over the ages. Always open minded and in good contact to other wizards these still can be found outside their stony realms.
Dwarves are normally very good miners and brave fighters. Everybody recognizes a dwarven soldier by his super ply crafted mithril chain mail and the double sided battleaxe since hundred fifty years ago, in the first big orc wars, a big troop under king Balin Thunder axe sliced the encornered army of the duke of Rivellon out the orcish waves they were trapped in. The word in Rivellon is that having a dwarf on your side is like having a rock to fight for you, solid and dependable.
