Vaeldrin's Mark Lore - Dwarves (Earth Elves)

Jorvar (Dwarves or Earth Elves) Created by Ghror, The Artificer.

The reclusive dwarves were created by Ghror to be the master craftsman and traders of Vaeldrin. However, the Earth Elves mostly kept to themselves in the Dawn Age. They carved out their mountain kingdoms and created a network of tunnels spanning the whole Continent. The dwarves created weapons, armor, and tools the like of which no one else could replicate. They mastered the art of spellforging, granted to them by Ghror. They possessed the ability to infuse their weapons with magic. The blade wielded by all of the human emperors including Andreas was of dwarven make. When the war between giants and men reached the dwarven capital of Jorheim. Jorheim lay in a valley east of Rom. The giant armada crossed the Lost Bay to lay siege to Rom from the east. The humans rode to meet them and on the slopes of the dwarven valleys they fought. Both factions reached out to the dwarves for aid in the region. The dwarves were enraged by these acts. They dared to fight in their lands and now they requested aid. The dwarves answered by closing their gates and cutting off all communication with the world. By the events of the Marked Ones Prophecy, no one has seen the Earth Elves for centuries.
