Dwarves

The dhwarves of today are known as the Peristi and live nomadic lives. Peristi avoid settling down and prefer an itinerant lifesysle moving from town to town along the north face of the Dyafice. Across the two kingdoms they are are still in demand, woring the many mines of the north face and many provinces depend on their masonry for fortifications, aqueducts, bridges and roads.

The Peristi predeliction for mobility harkens back to the last days of the Ancient Regime. Dhwarven lore tells of a past castrophe brought about by the insanity of an elven ruler who tried to draw down the divine into this world. In those days, the Peristi maintained strong ties with elvenfolk but now approach them and the crafts with trepidation and disdain.

Persisti argue that the problem with elves is not only their vanity but also their approach to politics and government. Ask a Peristi what she thinks of elves today, and your response, after rolling the eyes would be `if tedious mind-numbing routine is too daring for ya, then go work with the elves.' But on a serious note, Peristi believe it was the elvish tendency to overthink things that blinded them to the madness of their own rulers. To this day, the Persiti believe they are the antithesis to this and are highly suspsicious of hierarchical orhganisations, elvish or not.

Nomadic dhwarves have abandoned their former gods and now leave these troubles to men and elves.

Now Nomads in the outreaches and uplands beyond the Dyafice, their search for a homeland goes on.
