It literally translates as the "ritual of toil", although younger dwarves have begun to refer to it as kangreddin, or "wall-making". Gladdringgar is the dwarven tradition of carving one's personal rune in stone on the deepest cave or tunnel one has explored. The only god in the dwarven pantheon not related to Torag is the Dark Smith, Droskar, the chief deity of the duergar. Torag's relations include Angradd, his younger brother Folgrit, his wife Bolka, their daughter Grundinnar, their eldest son Kols, the middle son Trudd, Grundinnar's youngest brother Dranngvit, Torag's half-sister and Magrim, his older brother. These are mostly related to Torag and are generally not worshiped individually. In addition, there is a small collection of gods worshiped almost exclusively by dwarves. Most dwarves venerate Torag, the God of the Forge, above all others, although both Irori, the Master of Masters, and Abadar, the god of wealth, are given great respect. And in south-west Osirion are the Pahmat or sand dwarves, proud xenophobic warriors who beleive that they once held safe the greatest secrets of the ancient pharoahs. Hardy nomadic warriors who dwell in rough caverns by day and travel above ground by night. There exist even lesser known clans of dwarves in Garund, among the southern peaks of the Shattered Range, are the desert dwarves. Of particular note are the city of Highhelm, whose inhabitants consider themselves the heart of dwarven culture and life, the Sky Citadel of Janderhoff in Varisia, the Ouat monks of Osirion and the wild warriors of Kalsgard in the Lands of the Linnorm Kings.

Though they have waned since, due to wars with orcs and terrors from the Darklands, most of the citadels still stand. Once they established themselves, they built the vast and magnificent Sky Citadels. They inadvertently herded their ancient enemies, the orcs, ahead of them, and finally emerged onto the surface around -4987 AR. 5133 AR) they united under King Taargick and began to push towards the surface, in what would later come to be known as the Quest for Sky. They lived and worked in their forges and cities in Nar-Voth, fighting against the orcs and goblinoid races and among themselves for eons. History Īccording to their own myths, the dwarves were forged by Torag in ancient times. Most males grow facial hair at an alarming rate, and as such almost all dwarves keep a beard, with the exception of the Ouat caste of Osirion. Males tend to be quite noticeably broader, though not as much taller comparatively, they have slab-like torsos and heavy eyebrows. There is dramatic sexual dimorphism in dwarven physiology. Their hair usually ranges from dark, near-black brown, to a light ash brown some are born with a shock of red hair, which is considered beautiful in dwarven circles. Dwarves have wide range of eye color, with brown and grey being the most common, though some possess shocking blue irises. Their coloration varies, with the dwarves of Garund being deeply tanned and weather beaten, while the dwarves of Avistan tend to be paler, especially those who dwell in the far north of the Lands of the Linnorm Kings. This bulk also causes dwarves to weigh as much, if not more than human men. They have thick, heavy bones, tightly packed muscular sinew, and stability unmatched by other races. A dwarf is a stout humanoid, usually a head shorter than their human counterparts, but much broader.
