The Koropokkuru, or Plain Dwarves, are a distinct subrace of dwarves, native to the serene and expansive lands of the continent of Igochi. Unlike their mountain-dwelling kin, these dwarves find their homes not beneath towering peaks, but on the flat, fertile lands near rivers and lakes. Their settlements, nestled in valleys between the mountains, maintain a delicate balance between proximity to the raw minerals they so value and the tranquility of open, sunlit plains. For the Plain Dwarves, life is a harmonious blend of order, craftsmanship, and peaceful coexistence with nature. While the Plain Dwarves do not live beneath the earth, they remain deeply tied to the mountains that border their lands. The towering peaks and rocky crags are more than distant landmarks—they are the source of the precious minerals that fuel their crafts. Their settlements are strategically placed to allow easy access to these resources, ensuring that their forges and workshops are always well-supplied.
In the heart of their communities, order reigns supreme. Every task, no matter how small, has its proper time and method. From the way they organize their workshops to the rituals of daily life, the Plain Dwarves place immense value on precision and structure. Their society thrives on labor, with each dwarf taking pride in the perfection of their craft. Whether shaping stone, weaving intricate patterns, or forging metal, they see their work not just as a task but as an art form—a testament to their dedication and skill.
Despite their love for isolation and the self-sufficiency it brings, the Plain Dwarves are practical and understand the importance of interacting with other races. Trade is vital for acquiring rare materials, and they engage in it with a sense of fairness that runs deep in their veins. Though they may initially regard outsiders with cautious reserve, they never fail to extend a hand of respect and honesty, treating strangers with dignity until trust can be earned. The Koropokkuru embody a peaceful yet strict way of life, with every element of their world meticulously arranged. Their settlements are a testament to their desire for order, and their interactions with the wider world reflect a belief in fairness and respect. Though they are a people who cherish solitude, their presence in the world is quietly profound, woven into the tapestry of Igochi's history.
