Mountain Dwarf

The dwarves of the mountain kingdoms existed apart from much of Ansalon throughout their history. Since their contact with the outside world often turns out badly, the self-sufficient dwarves are quick to shut their gates and seal off their halls to preserve the way of life that has sustained them since the Age of Dreams. Mountain dwarves come from one of the following clans:

• Hylar (“Highest”): This is the oldest of the dwarf clans, often considered the most noble. Their halls within the mountain kingdoms are the best appointed and always magnificent.
• Daewar (“Dearest”): Another highly respected clan, the Daewar produce many important warriors and leaders. They are known for their excellent fighting prowess and often work in conjunction with leaders of the Hylar clan.
• Klar: The Klar were a clan of hill dwarves who were trapped inside Thorbardin during the Cataclysm and not allowed to leave the mountain kingdom when the dwarven kingdom was sealed from the inside. As a clan, they are known
  for wild-looking eyes and wiry beards, though in truth their reputation as madmen is largely undeserved. The mountain dwarves subjugated them as suspected Neidar sympathizers during the Dwarfgate War (another unfairly leveled charge) and since that time they have survived as a servitor clan. They are known as fierce combatants and loyal friends. Though their position of servitude may be unjust, many unflaggingly support their Hylar masters.
