The Dwarves are a secretive bunch and ur on the side of cautuion in their deelings with others outside their clan. A long history of dealing with the Mummy lords has taught them to value magical defences and arcane technology. Now they flee for their lives from what they believe is a war to end wars. Not even their great technology can save them and it is rare for a dwarf of the clan to accept defeat in any battle they try their hand in.
