Editing Ourworld:Dwarves (section)

== Dwarven Trade ==

The Dwarves are mercantile in the extreme, some would say mercenary. They operate large "banks", though these too show the Dwarven tendency towards concrete realities, namely, the concept of "interest" or even "credit" have little impact on Dwarves, instead they refuse to deal with someone who can not pay on delivery, and merely charge fees to look after your money/items based on the size of the item and the time it is to be stored for.
It should also be noted that Dwarves are master artisans, and they quality of their goods commands a high price. In addition the giants who live in the mountains have on more than one occaision kidnapped Dwarves and forced them to create giant-sized weapons. The Dwarves have in their usual manner turned tragady into cash by using the expertise in making such weapons and selling the products to the nearby plains dwellers, charging an acceptably high price for such rarities of course.
