In our campaign, dwarves originate in the north-west of the great continent and their settlements are only found in hilly and mountainous areas:

• The Black Mountains
• The Border Range (the Nemedian side)
• Northern hills of the Borderlands
• The Graaskal Mountains
• Northern parts the Karpash Mountains

In addition to their skills in mining, the dwarven race are noted for producing blacksmiths, metalworkers and armourers of great skill. So in lands where there presence is welcomed, some enterprising dwarves leave their home settlements to make a good living practising these trades in larger cities. In Brythunia and Nemedia, particularly, dwarven craftsmen are a familiar sight in larger settlements.
