Dwarves

A race of humanoid creatures, smaller than most humans. Most dwarves live inside large mountains or around them and they are scarce south of the Trycast mountain range. Their most notable homes are the Kaddan and Ostmoor mountain ranges.

The dwarves are divided into two groups, the Jirdokun and the Kadakun dwarves. Their legends say that dwarves were settlers from an even more northern land. In their homeland they were expert carpenters and shipmakers but they quickly became skilled miners and stonemasons. Initially they settled in the Ostmoor caves and later formed their own shafts and complex buildings within the mountain.

The Dwarven settlers started to gather into two groups, the Jirdokun and Kadakun. The Jirdokun stayed in the caves of Ostmoor whilst the Kadakun wandered the lands of Jordnmel. Later on, the Kadakun split into two separate groups (allthough they are both named the same); the ones who stayed above ground and the ones who settled the mountain south of Ostmoor, later named Kaddan after its inhabitants.
