Dwarf
Dwarf
A short race that excels in defense and vitality. However, the beastmen outdo them in close combat, so it wouldn’t be a reason to deliberately choose this race. Their true value lies in their nimble fingers. It wasn’t uncommon for a dwarf to completely devote their time to weapon creation and never step a foot into the battlefield.
