Dwarves are a race native to the westernmost regions of the Great Continent. Originating in the cool tundras of Vy Mirvë, the Dwarves have previously held a position as dominant race. Once the recognized religion the world over, Majicium still lends much of the cultural staples (and stereotypes) attributed to each race. In the Thaumopaedia, it is written: "To the Dwarves of the Far North, She engendered unsurpassed tolerance. The Dwarves grew thick-skinned and hearty, Able to withstand the natural elements." (Thaumopaedia: Chapter 12, Verses 25-27)
