Dwarves
Short in stature but tall with bravery, Dwarves are one of the more heroic of Lerai's races. Preferring to arm themselves with hammers, axes, and shortswords, Dwarves were the most militaristic race until the Great Cataclysm.
When the Old Ones awoke for the first time in centuries, they sent armies of the undead to attack the dwarves, forcing them from their deepest mines and into the very bastions of the Dwarven Empire. There, they made their last stand against the undead menace.
It was there that the Dwarven Empire fell, beneath the bones of the undead and the corpses of the dwarves who defended it. But still to this day, hammering is heard from the depths beneath the mountains, as if the Empire still lives...
In the time of the Empire, there was only one major Dwarven city, but it was the most grand city of the world, with streets paved with platinum, walls of pure gold, and even the dishes and tools of silver and gold. The city now is a crumbled ruin, long since stripped of anything of value, but tales remain of the ancient Vault, where the last Dwarven King hid a mighty and powerful weapon...
