Dwarf

The dwarven people iin Choll have largely lost their staunch isolationist philosophy and racism. While the largest individual congregation of dwarves is still Rorchgan Keep, the dwarven people have spread through the lands and often quick to anger, but just as quick to forget it. Insult a dwarf, break his nose, but buy him a few rounds and everything is copasetic. Attack his close friends and you've made an enemy for life.

They are known for their skill with crafting, specifically in stonework. While many races make great works of blacksmithing, nobody can top dwarven stonework and few can top dwarven steel. While the dwarven blacksmith is certainly a common sight, dwarves are present in every level of most socieites.

When it comes to religion, dwarves tend towards one of two extreme philosophies. Praise the few remaining dwarven gods, or spit on the whole lot of them. As such it is considered rude to ask a dwarf about his religion and has been the cause of many a bloody fight.
