Dwarf

-6000 OB Roughly around the time when the nation of Gigantica launched it's initial transcontinental conquest known simply as the Grand Giant Invasion, attempting to impose their Pax Gigantis on the rest of the world and enslave the minor races. The dwarves were the main defenders in this conflict and managed to push the Giants back from their homeland at great cost.

Summary

The dwarves are an ancient and noble race, with strong familial bonds and a strong sense of clan duty, tradition and honor.
