Known for their short stature, broad frames, and muscular builds, these stout people thrive in some of the most challenging terrains, including towering mountain ranges and vast underground cities.

			Dwarves in Nyrus are a noble and proud race, deeply bound to their traditions and the legacy of their ancestors. Every action they take, from crafting a blade to governing a kingdom, is guided by the teachings of the past. Their respect for lineage is unparalleled, with many dwarves able to trace their ancestry back through countless generations. Ancestral halls are common in dwarven cities, where stone carvings and murals depict the deeds of great heroes and forebears. The weight of this history informs their decisions, making dwarves cautious and deliberate, but also deeply principled. To dishonor one’s family or clan is considered the gravest of sins, and much of dwarven society revolves around maintaining the dignity and honor of one’s lineage.

			Living primarily in mountainous regions, dwarves have an innate affinity for rocky, high-altitude environments, where they feel closest to the earth. They are master miners, digging deep into the mountains to extract precious gems, metals, and stone, which they then forge into remarkable works of art and craftsmanship. The architecture of their underground cities, hewn from solid rock, reflects their deep connection to these landscapes. However, dwarves are less comfortable in wide open spaces and hold a strong aversion to the sea. The vastness of open water is unsettling to them, as it lacks the solidity and safety of the mountains they call home. Dwarves are seldom seen at sea and, when they do, are often with other races.

			Culturally, dwarves place a high value on hard work, craftsmanship, and loyalty to their clans. They are known for their tireless work ethic, especially in the forges and mines where they spend much of their time. Dwarves tend to live in complex, well-fortified underground cities carved from the stone of mountains. These settlements are not merely places of residence; they stand as testaments to dwarven artistry and engineering, with each hall, archway, and fortress reflecting the unmatched skill of their builders . Dwarven society is also deeply hierarchical, with respect and honor earned through one's craft and contribution to the clan.

			Though their communities are often isolated, dwarves are not entirely cut off from the world. Stone Dwarves, the most common subrace, have formed strong trade relations with [[humans]] and other races, exchanging their expertly crafted goods for resources and wealth. On the other hand, more reclusive subraces, like the Frost Dwarves and Sand Dwarves, prefer to remain within their harsh environments, far from the bustling cities. While trade and diplomacy with outsiders exist, trust is hard-won among dwarves, and loyalty is fiercely protected.

	~~{{under construction\|section=yes}}~~		The Plain Dwarves, known as the Koropokkuru, dwell in the lush, rolling plains and fertile valleys of Igochi, where rivers weave through their settlements like veins of life. Unlike their mountain-dwelling kin, these dwarves embrace the open sky and rich earth, forging a harmonious existence with nature. Their stout figures, adorned with intricate hair ornaments that reflect their unrivaled craftsmanship, bustle with precision in every task—be it crafting fine tools, farming equipment, or delicate jewelry sought by nobles and traders alike. In their egalitarian society, leadership is earned by wisdom, not birthright, and every member is bound by a deep sense of communal unity. Though they cherish their quiet lives, the Koropokkuru hold fairness and honor in high regard, welcoming trade and cooperation with those who meet them on equal ground.

	~~{{under construction\|section=yes}}~~		The Sand Dwarves of Nyrus are a hardy and resilient people, shaped by the relentless heat and sweeping dunes of the Al'Anwaar desert. With skin bronzed by the sun and leaner, more agile frames, they are masters of survival, their every movement a testament to centuries of adaptation. Beneath the golden sands, their hidden cities rise from the rocks, blending into the landscape like natural fortresses, where craftsmanship reigns supreme. Known for their masterful metalwork, stone carving, and jewelry, the Sand Dwarves are shrewd traders, journeying across the vast desert to barter their finely crafted wares for the supplies they cannot produce in their arid homeland. In battle, they are swift and cunning, using the desert's shifting terrain to strike with precision and vanish before their foes can retaliate. A people of both tradition and ingenuity, the Sand Dwarves thrive where others falter, their story forever intertwined with the sun-scorched sands they call home.
