Overview
The population of Dwarves in Golgotha is highest in the Iron Barony, so named for the Dwarven iron mines in the aptly named Iron Mountains, along the coast.
Dwarven Specialties
Some spells and items are usable or obtainable only by Dwarves, as they are tightly linked to the Dwarven way of life. Other items are shared with select other cultures, usually the Gnomes of Deadtree.
Dwarvenmade Clockworks
Slogan: "If you need a clock, you need a Dwarvenmade."
Dwarvenmade clockworks is the primary manufacturer of locks, clocks, and automata in eastern Golgotha. Their craftsmanship is ridiculously good, even for Dwarven goods, and because of that, their products fetch top dollar. Dwarvenmade products are occasionally known to fail, but it is usually due to an installation error on the part of the user, such as installing the latch of a lock too far from the catch, by a significant margin.
