| abstract | - Note: most of dwarven history is actively hidden from the rest of the world. The dwarves have lengthy sagas, eddas, and histories concerning their deeds, wars, and adventures, but these are not shared with the outside world. The things they have seen and battles they have fought within their own domain remain mysterious, at least for now. The dwarves have coalesced from a series of scattered clans into a mighty kingdom called Grimheim, capable of defending itself against all enemies. Children of the Dragon of Fire, they worshiped him in the deep places of the world where magma provided the only light, and in return they were taught the secrets of the forge and the hearth. 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 them into a honeycomb deep beneath the earth. Also new kingdoms were founded far outside their borders, either gaining their independence like Sudgurd or maintaining their loyalty to the King under the Mountains, like Ostgerd.
