History:

Chapter 1, Digging

When the Dwarves got driven out of the Human lands, they settled in the natural caves that had formed under the peaks of the Gath’Lor mountain range. Within years they had built up their massive city of Gath’Ron with its mighty halls and extreme fortifications. Between the other cities, the dwarves would dig an intricate network of tunnels and hallways, called the Underworld. The strong belief that they were the defenders of the frail human races, who were constantly fighting amongst themselves, drove them to build a fortress called Kal’Ron, or the Wall. Over the years the Wall would withstand many challenges, though none as great as the army of Dian Gragar.

Chapter 2, The Pit

The orc warlord Dian Gragar managed to breach the wall, and disperse the Dwarf forces back to their strongholds inside the mountains that they call Vaults. A massive army from the north, however, managed to liberate the wall and drive back the attackers. The dwarves got renewed faith in the war, and joined the northern army in an assault at Dalar’Ni’Alorin. They found themselves standing eye to eye with another army from the south, and after the battle was over, there was nothing but a wasteland called the Pit.

Current Status

The Dwarves have thrived still, and their society focuses on the welfare of the nation. Kids are being raised to make a valuable addition to society, and there is always work to do in the tunnels of Gath’Ron.
