Duergar

Duregar were the below-ground cousins of the modern dwarves. The modern Duregar are refugees from the underdark, having taken to the surface in the Upheaval like the drow and svirfneblin. Like the drow they were forced to adjust to a modern world and today they maintain a strong rivalry with their dwarven cousins. They tend to being more gruff and isolationist than dwarves, often being slow to trust. They are eternal pessimists, viewing life as a period of hard work ended by death. Despite this, they work hard to keep their word, and have a staunch sense of honor. In Choll the Duergar are one of the least common races, but they are known to be hard workers if nothing else.
