To this day the Dawi still fight their ultimate goal is to restore their empire and set right every wrong done to them. Every grievance, every single crime against the Dwarf race, is recorded in the Great Book of Grudges, the Dammaz Kron, written in the blood of the High Kings. But the Dwarfs have not forgotten these wrongs. In recent times, the Dwarfs are a race barely holding onto glories past, with only a few strongholds remaining in their hands and the rest lost to enemies or abandoned to the elements. Thus the golden age of Karaz Ankor - ‘The Everlasting Realm’ - ended. It was then that the Goblins ( Grobi) and Skaven ( Raki) struck, felling many holds. To make matters worse, the realm was riven by devastating earthquakes. This titantic conflict spanned centuries and continents, and though the Dwarfs successfully drove the High Elves off the continent, their empire was left weak. Through pride, foolishness and the treachery of Malekith, the Dwarfs and High Elves began the War of the Beard - the War of Vengeance. They encountered the High Elves, and a friendship was struck between the two races. With their Dwarfholds established across the World's Edge Mountains and far beyond, the Dwarfs prospered for many generations.

When Chaos came and Daemon armies marched across the world, the Ancestor Gods departed, but the Dwarfs were able to weather the assault in their fortresses, although those Dwarfs who had ventured east of the mountains were lost. In the distant past, the Dwarf Ancestor Gods led their people to establish their strongholds under the World's Edge Mountains, teaching them the arts of smithing, runemaking and warfare. The Underway once connected all of these, although much of it has fallen into disrepair. Each is a massive underground city, and in the lower levels great forges and mine-works. They see the work of other races as inferior and even have a special word for human-made devices which they call umgak, meaning "shoddy." Perhaps the greatest Dwarf creations are their underground strongholds which are indisputable wonders of the world. In their language of Khazalid, they call themselves the Dawi, although Khazalid is rarely spoken in the presence of other races.ĭwarfs are master craftspeople their magical rune items and advanced war machines are renowned across the world. Dwarf women hold respected roles in society, but often face pressure to marry and produce children, and they rarely rise to political leadership. Dwarf men greatly outnumber Dwarf women, and they are extremely proud of their beards which they often braid and groom. They are short, generally no taller than five-and-a-half foot in height but broad with powerful arms and stout legs. Die, you wazzock!ĭwarfs are a proud folk who are quick to temper and renowned for holding grudges, with a love of gems and precious metals.
