The Dwarfs are also highly proficient smiths and craftsmen, capable of producing works far more beautiful than the Elven metalworkers in far Ulthuan and hundreds of times more valuable than the trinkets of Men. ĭwarfs are known far and wide as the greatest miners and tunnellers - the ageless halls of Karaz-a-Karak are but one gigantic example of how huge their works can become. The highest mountain range in the world, it is filled with the magnificent halls and holds of the Dwarfen people - a testament to the great feats of engineering and power once wielded by this ancient civilization. Yet the heart of the Dwarf empire, the Karaz Ankor as they call it, will always lie within the domains of the Worlds Edge Mountains that serves as a barrier between the Old World and the Dark Lands to the east. They once held an empire which stretched from Norsca in the north to the jungles in the Southlands, and from Mount Silverspear in the east to the Grey Mountains in the west. The Dwarfs, also called the " Elder Race," or the Dawi as they call themselves in their tongue of Khazalid, are one of the oldest and proudest intelligent mortal races of the Known World, with a great wealth of history and power that stretches back to time immemorial.
