Born close to the earth, the Dwarves of Aetolia are a stout and resilient people. Their preference for solitude deep within the highlands of the realm is not a deterrent for those who seek other ends, and they are just as often found striding powerfully through the city streets.

Their ancestral home has been long lost in the darkness of the Midnight Age, but this is of little consequence to the nomadic peoples of the Dwarven race.

Home and hearth can be built anywhere, and no one is as dependable as a Dwarf. Though they are well known to frequently indulge in mining and quarrying, traditionally Dwarves seldom make their homes underground, despite popular belief.
