They conquer the natural world with raw metal and power. They have made off-shore castles that suspend themselves over the bottom of the sea so that they can drill into the heart of the earth and take her precious innards. Entire clans live their lives without ever seeing solid land, fishing and mining and sending off barrels to cousins on the shore. The dwarven pirates are go-betweens who bring the oil back and bring necessities to their brethren at sea. Most long to get back...Whalers: Ever read Moby Dick? Ahab is a brilliant archetype for a dwarf: one big obsession that he just can't get past. Most characters work pretty well that way, actually. Dwarves that sail the seas, ships covered in carnage from previous hunts, hunting the largest beasts in the world. HARPOONS AWAY, BOYS!Volcanoes: Polynesian dwarven pirates in canoes and outriggers with an elaborate trade network, who use obsidian and wood, and who can get very close to the Fire of the Earth without getting burned themselves...sulfur-smelling dwarves covered in burn-scars. Vikings: Rape and pillage all the way down the coast, retreat away before anyone can martial naval backup. Fast, rutheless, and grim. False limbs should be fun to do with a dwarf-like level of industrial technology. Personally, I'm a huge fan of the whalers idea. Dwarven whalers! Yay!</blockquote>
