Dwarven kingdoms are usually deep beneath the stony faces of mountains,
where they mine gems and precious metals, and forge items of wonder.
Trustworthy members of other races are welcome to these lands, though
there are some parts that are off limits even to them. What wealth the
dwarves can't find, they gain through trade. Dwarves dislike water travel,
so enterprising humans handle trade in dwarven goods when travel is along a
water route. Dwarves in human lands are typically mercenaries, weaponsmiths,
armoursmiths, jewelers, and artisans. Dwarf bodyguards are renowned for
their courage and loyalty, and are well rewarded for their virtues.
