About:
Master craftsmen and fierce warriors, the dwarves of Thestra live in the underground city of Bordinar's Cleft, deep in the Widows Veil Mountains. They currently stand at the front line of the undead invasion, with the humans and halflings lending what little support they can spare. While often viewed as grumpy and dour by the other races, dwarves actually have a very good sense of humor and an unwavering sense of loyalty once they are befriended. They are much stronger than their size would imply and tend to lean towards more physical professions.

The Dwarven People
"I was struck by the normal activities that carry religious significance for the people of Bordinar's Cleft. Smithing an exceptional weapon or brewing excellent ale is a form of worship to these dwarves. It is accepted that the gods are part of their lives and responsible for both their fortunes and failures."
~ The Peoples of Thestra and Its Environs
"Most dwarves are stocky and quite muscular. Most all of the men sport beards. Fantastical tales of bearded dwarven women is certainly a fiction as I never witnessed a single dwarven woman with any type of facial hair. A typical dwarf reaches adolescence in his late 20's and reaches full maturity around 30 to 35 years of age. It is not uncommon to find dwarves nearing 200 years old prior to death."
