Dark LegacyThe common dwarves of the holds: fortress builders, miners and warriors.
When folk in Alora say 'a dwarf' and no more, it is a mountain dwarf they mean. These are the builders of the great holds, whose gates have not been forced in living memory, and whose halls go further into the rock than any map kept outside them shows.
A mountain dwarf can smell ore through a yard of stone, as another smells bread, and will stop in the middle of a sentence to do it. They drink deep and feast long, and like a fight better than either; and they have a way of opening one, by leaping bodily upon the enemy with all their weight, which those who have received it call the cannonball. They live to a great age all the same, to the wonder of physicians.
