| - At first, the other races were not even aware of the Dwarves. Not until the Wars of Fire (28-41 ASD), when the dwarven units joined the others to resist the Demons, were they recognized. Once the fighting was over, they returned to their homes under the mountains and had little to do with the other races for centuries. Slowly, tunnels were dug between the various dwarven cities, connecting then into a honeycomb deep beneath the earth. All that changed when the first Dark Elves settled on the borders of Grimheim. A steadily deteriorating situation turned into the War under the Mountains, in which the Dwarves, led by King Hathor, crushed the Dark Elves and drove them out. The Dark Elf dwelling places were collapsed, and the dwarves considered their borders secure. Today, the Dwarves still keep a watchful vigilance up. They watch their borders, and no one moves on their lands unseen. They befriend a precious few, and expand their kingdom carefully. Grimheim and its dwarves rarely communicate with the rest of Ashan, rarely forming alliances and having almost no trade routes. Grimheim's borders are heavily defended and the Dwarves do not welcome any visitors.
