Creatures of Eonil – Creatures of Ghor – Creatures of Quintra and Denday
Dwarves can live up to 800 years. They are smaller than humans yet they seem to be much more muscular then humans. Physically they are therefore also one of the strongest races, what they lack in height they surely make up for in strength. The smallest dwarves range from just above the waist of an average human and the largest dwarves can reach to an average humans shoulders.
Dwarves were created by Quintra and Denday as the guardians of treasure. Their love for forging jewelry is until this day still unparalleled and they are also the finest blacksmiths on Eonil. This is why Dwarves nearly always live in or very near the mountains. They delve for precious stones, gems and ore and their lava fueled forges are the hottest in the world. But Dwarves are also known for making the best guarded fortresses on Eonil where they used to guard their treasures. Dwarves however aren’t the easiest bunch to deal with because they are so stubborn that they seem to be a bit stuck in their ways.
Dwarves, much like humans have a strict hierarchy with a king and several noble families all in charge of their settlements and fortresses. Because they are in charge it also means that most of the things delved in their territory is theirs by law. They do pay their workers generously but not as much as the cut they keep for themselves, and this is all after they have calculated the costs of maintaining the territory. This is why automatically the dwarven nobility are also the richest dwarves.
