Dwarves

Dwarves are one of the Great Races of Liertak. Dwarves are very short and stocky bipedal creatures, similar in appearance to humans. They tend to grow their head hair and facial hair, which are generally black or brown, very long.

Dwarves are heavily respected by the other inhabitants of Liertak, and often treated as royalty.

Present Day
Modern dwarves are historians, scholars, judges, genealogists, architects and philosophers who constantly travel across all Liertak documenting the lore, history, and events. There exist no permanent dwarven settlements.

Dwarves are often consulted or hired for matters of strategy, engineering, building, architecture, or design.

Each dwarf goes through an apprenticeship, in which they learn research techniques, politics, social matters and science from an experienced dwarf. After graduating this apprenticeship, the dwarf chooses a specialization, on which they focus their life's research from that point on.

Blastpods
Due to their short stature, dwarves generally have poor combat skills. Dwarves defend themselves using blastpods, alchemical concoctions designed to stun or distract attackers while they flee. Different blastpods may have different effects and intensities - some may merely stun, while others may cause serious injury or death.

Dwarven Assembly
The Dwarven Assembly is a meet-up of almost every dwarf in Liertak, which occurs each floodmeet. The Assembly enables the Dwarves to exchange the knowledge they've gathered and discuss events in the world if necessary.

The language of the dwarves is Dwarven. Dwarven is phonetic; each of 72 sounds are represented by a character, and these characters are combined to create words.
