Dwarves

In the beginning the Dwarves were fine since they lived underground while most of the problems were on the surface. They profited pretty well selling arms to the various factions and Slayers guilds to help fight against the Outsiders and all the other monsters. These Dwarves began to experiment and research new and more effective ways on dealing with the monsters and Outsiders. In the beginning these experiments were harmless as they were testing new fire arms and improving the surgery required to use them. They experimented with magic attempting to create their own spells and find alternate ways to use magic if one was at their limit. They would also begin to experiment with different types of metals in creating weapons.

It wasn't until later where the Dwarves began to start practicing the dark arts and forbidden arcane as well as begin to use cursed metals in their crafts for blacksmithing and using other questionable methods to achieve their goals. Dwarves began to enlist the help of Necromancers to help with their one forbidden project known as the Alien Puppet Project as for what it was supposed to achieve no one really knows however one of their goals were attempting to break the natural cycle between life and death. Many of these dwarven cities were destroyed due to the numerous dark projects that they were researching and practicing. Some Dwarves survived these inhumane experimentation but were forced to flee their homes. None of them speak of these projects that destroyed many of their cities as well as the Dwarven kingdom known as Ironspine.

''Player's Note: When playing a Dwarf character that has experienced the horrors of these dark projects you will take extra stress damage in the dwarven cities. The Closer you are to the Kingdom of Ironspine the more stress damage you take.''
