== Dwarven Racial Traits ==

The Dwarves are a hearty folk with a respect for tradition and propriety. They are a stout yet ungraceful folk. They stand about 4'5-5'2 in height and are usually very stocky. They tend to be very direct and honest in their dealings with each other, though those who travel abroad have learned quickly that not everyone is as forthright as they are. They are trusted bankers and tradersHaving no souls they cannot be resurrected in the normal sense. Powerful Dwarven clerics can appeal to the ancestors for a name to be restored to a worthy, fallen Dwarven hero, and this has much the same effect as a resurrection does on a human, however.

'''The Dwarven Nation'''

There are four major cities in the Dwarven nation. Stormhold On-The-Sea, their only seaport and surface entrance is protected by a subterranean sea tunnel which is easily defended and is a large and bustling city very multicultural by Dwarf standards. It is ruled by the Spice and Metals Trading Company, a powerful international group of merchants (some would say bullies) who take the lion's share of the profits coming into Stormhold.
