[QUOTE="Janx, post: 1819262, member: 8835"] Die_Kluge started a great series on other races, but he doesn't have dwarves in his campaign, so he's going to leave them out. So I'll continue the series for Dwarf, the other white meat.... Here's my take on Dwarves, known as the Bjorn in my game. The Genari are the gnomes in my game (go see the Gnome thread...). The Bjorn were an agrarian society. They lived on their large mountainous island, in peace, following their various prophets. Then, one day, the Genari came. And with them, the chain gangs. The Genari enslaved the Bjorn, forcing them to dig into the mountains for ore. The Bjorn resisted. Secretly rebelled. One day, the Genari finally relinquished control of the Bjorn homeland. By then, that land had been reduced to a near-desert. Few plants grew there anymore. But the Bjorn had learned much from their masters. They knew how to mine, and how to fight. And they knew how to conquer others. And so they went out to sea, and expanded to other islands. Slowly, they became as strong as the Genari. In time, they knew they could make the Genari pay, to return in kind, what they had done to them. The Genari had met a new race, humans they were called. From a land called Tarai. The Bjorn made certain to approach the humans and ally with them, to ensure that the balance of power would not tip to the Genari side. When the Formians began to attack the other races, the humans gave aid, and turned the tide. When the humans in turn entered a war against the Baran'G, the Bjorn secretly returned the favor. The weapons from the Bjorm which had been stolen from the Genari years previously, couldn't save the humans from annhilation, but it let them fight their last. The Bjorn saw much in common with the humans, and much opportunity. Janx [/QUOTE]
