Shield
Dwarves
Teh scultered
halls and echoing chambers of dwarven kingdoms are scattered throughout
the Underdark like forgotten necklaces of semiprecious stones. Unlike
the ancient human empires, the dwarves distrusted magic, so they were never
seduced to the heights of magical folly that toppled the humans.
Instead, the dwarves became locked in eternal wars with goblin-kind and
the other dwellers in the Underdark. One by one, the dwarven empires
of the north failed, leaving only scattered survivors in the mountains
or unconquered sections of the Underdark.
Regions : The
shield dwarven holds exist in Damara, Impiltur, the North, the Silver Marches,
Vaasa, the Vast, and the Western Heartlands. Citadel Abdar (in the
Silverymoon) is the most famous shield dwarven city.
