Baraz-Dammaz-Throng (The Homeless):
The Homeless Dwarves, may have homes in Human kingdoms but you will never hear them call themselves a citizen of the nation in which they live in. They live by the rules of the region, and work in those cities manning the forges, and taking to the duties that they are suited for. They all long for their home, which has a story all its own. In the cities in which they reside they build great furnaces and forges under the cities. It is known that one can tell if Dwarves live in a city buy how much smoke comes out of it.
In times of war every King knows that the dwarves will hire themselves out as mercenaries, and when they take to battle a dwarven regiment is a sight to be hold. Yet it is also known that if dwarves are on both sides they will not fight each other. ever. Even when blood boils and each regiment of dwarves hate each other they will throw down there weapons and fight with fists until one side yields, without any death on each side. Scholars say it is a great sight to behold when the dwarves battle each other; fist, head, teeth, until it ends then the looser leaves the field of battle for good.
