The Dwarves were the first of the seven races created on Aellorah and emerged in Reshyk in what is known as the Age of the Founders. The goddess Aellor introduced them to the world, teaching them seven basic spells that her and the other Seven Sisters agreed upon that mortals should have access to. The Dwarves are responsible for the development of Runetech, a fantastic development that far exceeds other races’ understanding of traditional magic. Allowing them to bypass normal restrictions on the amount of Flow that they could direct in a given time thanks to the Flow Lock, it ushered them into a new age that made them the most powerful force in Aellorah.

Dwarves get great satisfaction out of creating things, especially forging metal. They are unsurpassed in their understanding of metallurgy. Magic is the greatest happiness in many Dwarves’ lives. Many believe their magical supremacy comes from the head start they got ahead of everyone else, but that is simply not true. The other races simply do not understand magic with the depth that the Dwarves do.

For many years during The Restoration and Age of Extermination periods, the Dwarves lived as isolationists, placing a ban on travel into Reshyk, allowing travel only into the trade city of Greentide, to preserve the security of their Runetech. They have slowly begun to lift these restrictions after the awakening of the Forgeborn and King Rangrim’s liberation from the corrupting influence of Maven, realizing that though Runetech was dangerous if the whole world had access to it, their extreme isolation was not only harming their culture, but breeding a culture of outsiders who would go to extreme lengths to discover their secrets, despite promise of death to those who sought them.

The Dwarves inherited the divine domains of Forge and Magic from Aellor, as well as one other according to their subrace.
