The mountainous nation of Dvergheim is home to the magically disinclined but technologically advanced dwarves. Here, they mine for iron and precious metals, while taming the land with feats of engineering.
|
The dwarves of Dvergheim worship a reclusive god called Ymir, who appeared among them in the dawn of their culture. He taught the dwarves many secrets of stone and metal, and encouraged them to research and explore further. Before leaving, he promised to issue one final task when he deems the dwarves ready. If this task is successfully completed, Ymir said, a golden age will follow.

 Dwarves are a short-statured race, whose members rarely stand taller than 160 centimeters. They are built like bricks, however, and their muscle-bound bodies make up for what they lack in height with raw strength.
The typical dwarf has a ruddy complexion, a broad skull, and very strong facial features. Their noses tend to be rather big and have a roundish shape, while their eyebrows are bushy, and their lips are set in a semi-permanent frown. The thick skin of dwarven faces are dominated by countless lines and furrows, making them appear old and weatherworn from a young age.

All male dwarves grow thick, impressive beards, which they often wear in two or more braids. They take great pride in their beards, and regard a strong, healthy growth as a symbol of manhood.
