Nibelungen Dwarves. 7th rank manufacturing, 5th rank engineering, 5th rank geography, 4th rank physics. Year 1710 technology. 400 years ago a great cataclysm devastated the traditional dwarven clans of the Darkspire mountains, probably instigated by the fledgling demonic empire of that region. This caused the deaths of thousands of dwarves and wiped out the entire leadership of the dwarven clans. The society was shattered and the people were forced to flee from the Tana'ri into the lowlands to the south where they were assaulted by the native Humans. Their losses were catastrofic but they eventually managed to rebuild and reorganize their social structure. They fought back and after many years of battle they were victorious. The wars of the exile had changed and darkened the spirit of the Dwarven people, however, and the pressures of those great conflicts strengthened their lawful nature. They had become completely selfless as individuals, sacrificing all for the race and for the new and united government they had elected, allowing nothing to stand in the way of their collective quest for greatness and revenge. The ancient magical lore of this race was saved and they rebuilt their population by using a strange kind of polymorphing magic to convert Human prisoners to Dwarves and using them as breeding stock. The result of that breeding was 100% dwarven, though not as powerful as their Nibelungen parent. Combining numbers and flawless organization they swept trough and conquered their Human neigbours, their confidence and strength growing with every victory. The wars sparked in them a greater desire for knowledge and power and they started to advance in the field of technology. Slowly this new knowledge spread into the outside world, even to distant Rokugan. Their hatered for the Demons of Darkspire continued to grow and as the power of the DPR increased it hardened into an unshakable resolve to eradicate them. They forceibly conscripted the neigbouring gnomish nations and the Avariel nation of Eliseraferem into their International Security Alliance (ISA) and are offering heavy resistance to the recent powerful demonic offensive.3*(100:50), 30*(10:10), 30*(5*7)15) Slauhthorn Peninsula. 35 PL. AL: N, CN, CG. Human (Iron-age tribes, asian Indians) Defeated tribal remnants of the once powerful nations that were driven south by the inexorable advance of the DPR. Repeatedly crushed and broken they are now too insignificant for the Dwarves to bother enslaving and are, for the moment, safe to pursue their own petty interior conflicts.5*(7:0)16) Eliseraferem. 10 PL. AL: LG. Avariel Elves  No people has been worse damaged by the Demonwars than the Avariel. They once had a strong precence in the Darkspire mountains, but are now nothing but a remnant of their former power. The only thing that protects their continued existance is the strong Dwarven legions stationed in the mountain fortresses of their land. The Elves are now completely subserviant to their Nibelungen overlords.10:1</blockquote>
