FIELDS OF WAR

The Dwarfs
Written by: Aaron Basham Edited by: Nikola Dabi

The Dwarfs are short with long beards and short tempers. They live in the mountains of Eskew and dig for gold, iron, silver, jewels, and mitheral. They use guns and steam to a level almost on par with the Scarecrows and Gnomes. Although they are few in number, they are tough and can deal with any problem they are faced with. Now they march to war to prevent the Ratkins from destroying the Mountain Realms.

-Dwarf Warriors
A Dwarf warrior is a strong and steady soldier. Armed with some of the finest forged weapons and armor seen anywhere they are a force to be reckoned, when not being outmaneuvered.

-Pass Guards
The Pass Guards are the Dwarfs who serve the many watchtowers and bastions leading up to a Dwarf city. Extremely stealthy, given their girth, they can attack from even the smallest amounts of cover.

-Stone Dwarfs
Stone Dwarfs are Dwarfs who have been blessed by the god of war, Delfrad.
