Myriden Race - Dwarf

Carved from the bedrock of the universe, dwarves endured ages of servitude to before winning their freedom. Their mighty mountain fortresses-cities testify to the power of their ancient empires. Even those clans which have chosen to live amongst the other races are considered the staunchest defenders of the darkness which threatens to engulf the world. Dwarven PCs are not uncommon in Riverdale; there are several dwarven clans in the Five Dales. A player character may be native to the town of Riverdale, or may have been apprenticed to the temple or smithy. A history of slavery is part of the dwarven culture. While it does not affect their daily behavior, it has affected how they approach any sort of subservience. For example, dwarves do not involve themselves with slavers or slavery, and the act of taking on an indentured servant is uncommon, and a very formal (and legally explicit) affair. It is also very uncommon for a dwarf to swear fealty, and when they do, it is taken extremely seriously.
