: Dwarves leave Preservation Runes in tombs of the dead. These runes are not magical, and are just a traditional practice.
{{Quote|source= Elven Plate Leggings|
During the Elf-Dwarf wars, Dwarven mages created leather-evaporation magic, rendering elves usual armor obsolete. These ceremonial plate leggings were hurried into battle. Although they're impressively protective, they're still pretty uncomfortable.

{{Quote|source= Gammo's "Legions of Stone"|
A musty tome of poetry from the dwarven master Gammo. It has both the original Dwarven rhyming couplets and a Human translation. Perfect for the poetry lover in your life.
}}
{{Quote|source= "Collected Works of Gammo" |
A heavy volume of poems by the dwarven master Gammo. It even includes the poem "My Penis is the Sunstone," which has been censored by the Dwarven Culture Group for over 500 years! This is a great find for poetry lovers, though dwarves may find it too embarrassing to own. Less prudish individuals tend to find Gammo's works uplifting and enervating.

They're a race that has risen and fallen many times over the centuries, and currently they're at a low ebb.
Dwarves are technologically very advanced. They're mired in wars on many fronts, but instead of slowly losing those wars, they're slowly winning, thanks in part to their technological innovations. Dwarves are also master miners, of course, and the god of minerals, [[Umrad]], is now their primary god. The god of crafting also takes the form of a dwarf.
Stereotypical words that other races use to describe dwarves include patience, wisdom, directness, and compassion. Dwarves live over 200 years -- not as long as elves, but still a long time -- and they understand that real change takes time.
They're very socially conservative, and they're extremely blunt with their opinions, which can cause some problems with other races. But they are fiercely loyal to their friends and family, and their sense of honor and friendship usually overcomes other qualms. For instance, they call elves disgusting perverts and make fun of them constantly, yet the dwarves are the elves' staunchest allies on this continent, and have been for over a thousand years.
