Dwarves

The dwarves are one of the many races in Fahr, northerns from Frostheim. The Dwarves has always taken to building their civilizations inside caves and atop high mountains and knows more about the mountaineering and mining than any other race in Elaara. Much thanks to their main deity, Roggford who carved the surface of the world during creation.

Forgotten Era
During the Forgotten Era the dwarves had already constructed several fortresses atop the peaks of Frostheim. Dwarves were born in the war against the giants, learned from an early age of the dangers of the enormous monsters that hailed their lands. The structures were mostly built by hollowing out the nearby caves, but the stone structures were sufficient to keep the giants at bay.

When Bor'gor entered Fahr, the gods warned all the races of what would come. The Dwarves were not proud like men, who laughed in the face of Bor'gor and sealed their fate, the dwarves pleaded the gods for aid and they responded. Roggford showed the way of creating metal and iron and created a great chasm deep inside the Dwarven caves, releasing the warm lava from below the sea and allowed the Dwarves to create a fortress.

The Iron Fortress was built atop the highest peak of Frostheim, it went deep inside the mountain and was barely visible from the outside. It would keep the Dwarves safe during Bor'gors siege. As Bor'gor destroyed their villages and ripped their stone fortresses apart, he came upon the Iron Fortress. The Gods granted their dwarven children powers to sustain his attacks.

After sieging the Iron Fortress for almost a month, the dwarves found the time to strike back. As Bor'gor had grown weary of the attacks, they managed to surprise him. Their leader, Thurn the Fierce, struck him hard on his temple knocking him down from the peak he hung from. The Great Stormhammer, it would be called, infused with the power of thunder from Jilana and Astor. They evacuated the Iron Fortress, and transported the demigod down into the deepest parts of the Iron Fortress.

The Dwarves built an immense system of locks and protection inside the Fortress, creating the greatest prison ever built in the history of Elaara. The Gods forced Bor'gor into a deep slumber, not to awaken until the prison was breached.

Time would forget the invasion of Bor'gor, and the Dwarves could not enter their own prison. But they knew something was in there, a weapon of unmatched potential.

The oldest recorded accounts of dwarven civilization dates back to the Stormfist empire.
