An adventurous band of the earliest of humans, on a journey out to map out the forests surrounding their wonderful city, stumbled onto a loose piece of ground and stumbled into a large cavern. Unable to climb back out, this group of humans had accepted the fact that they would have to stay there forever. Using the limited tools they had with them, they dug out tunnels in which they could create homes for themselves and live in comfort for the rest of their lives. And they did... And the band prospered for years. They created their own shrine to the Goddess of Order Mota, and prayed daily that one day they could be reunited with the families and friends that they missed so much. Mota, hearing their prayer, guided a young human child far from his town, where he stumbled onto the caverns. Looking down, he saw movement and hear noises. Going back to his town, he called together the entire mass of the people with great shouts of an underground race. The town built ladders and brought shovels to the sight where the child had stumbled onto the caverns, and happily, they were reunited with their lost brothers. But, upon the reunion, something strange was noticed. The underground race had evolved. They were much shorter than the humans, and had developed enourmous strength. Noticing how much they had evolved from living in this small, dark cavern for this many years, the dwarved humans decided to remain in their kingdom, though keeping links with the humans open. Thus the dwarven race was born.

Dwarves are an ancient, crotchety race. They are built stocky and strong. They excel in fighting skills, and love to be in battle. They can become proficient in many other skills too, including magic.
