Dwourves

After the great plague in the dwarven land wiped out most of the population the remaining dwarves, survivors, evolvers, and more fortunate helped in constructing the great wall which sealed plague bearers and infected in the dwarves native lands.

Although a last resort which left all remaining dwarves homeless the generous peoples of all Skrekkhjem's provinces welcomed the generally well liked dwarves despite poor manners.

After many years and a rapid change in dwarvish appearance (Rise in average height, More muscular physique, Fairer features) due to the contagion all remaining dwarves have taken to calling themselves the Dwour, Short for Dwourves.

Ancient Dwarves were extremely dense, low to the ground and the few survivors are hard to relate to thier modern day counterparts. The modern dwour uses his low center of gravity to his advantage engaging in combat usually with lengthy weapons to make up for the slow ground speed or clockwork machinery to make the fighting easier for these "Stonebrains".

There are no finer Steampugilists.
