Dwarves

The dwarves that live in the mountains and hilly regions of Drakitosh's eastern and northern borders are a hardy folk. In recent times, their natural affinity for treasure hunting and collecting has developed into a general appreciation for history. Before the Severance and especially during the War of the Scales, Dwarves were some of the most proficient dragonslayers in all of Erothel. They had to be; many of the most evil breeds of dragon also share the dwarves' desire to live underground. Dwarves could also not form a House until they had slain a dragon. Once they had, they took upon themselves the skael (or essence) of that dragon and it became incorporated into the crest of their House. This would not lead to any supernatural abilities however, merely more social and political influence. Since the Severance, no new Houses have been formed. It is also quite common to find dwarves living in the surface cities of Ormiron making a living as blacksmiths and artisans or as descendents of earlier migrants.
