===Dwarves of the Depths===

Many thousands of Dwarves have been enslaved by the southern empire,
where they live at their slave-masters bidding.  When the southern
human empire captured their mountain home, Silverpeak 60 years ago,
Dwarves swore vengeance on them.  Many fled to the north, joining with
their brethren in Cragmore, who welcomed them.  Even in the north,
Dwarves have little trust for humans.  Others have decided to make
their way down into the depths and have become Deep Dwarves.

Deep Dwarves are insolar and have abandoned their racial quest to
recapture their lost halls in favour of starting anew in the depths of
the earth.  They tend to hate humans, and distrust surface dwellers of
all kinds.  They have no quarrel with Dwarves who have remained on the
surface but have no desire to return.  Deep Dwarves do not have many
wives like the dwarves of the surface, but have returned to their more
traditional ways.  They do not send out their sons to prove
themselves, but rather, all fight side by side protecting the family.
