Dwarf

The Dwarves are a short earth dwelling race often found in mountains and caverns.

History
The Stone Father (Moradin) called the once pure stone dwarves from his own world to Annora to fix the destruction of the Primordials. This caused the varried dwarven cultures found throughout the world, however the truth was lost during The Fall when the dwarves were affected by a vicious curse given to the Primal Spirits.

The Primordials created the spirits to cause havoc in the natural order of the world and cursed them with a painful sickness, creating chaos anywhere they walked. They turned stone to ash and forests to wastes. Together with the elves, the dwarves sacrificed their stone bodies and memories of their home to cleanse the spirits, turning them against the Primordials.

In modern day, Dwarves live in 9 different regions in kingdoms they refer to as 'Holds'.
