In the scorching sands and barren deserts of Nyrus, a unique dwarven subrace thrives—the Sand Dwarves. These resilient people have carved out a life in some of the harshest environments, where the blazing sun and dry winds dominate the land. Known for their unyielding fortitude, Sand Dwarves have adapted to this unforgiving world, drawing on the legendary dwarven resilience to survive where others cannot.
Their cities are marvels of engineering and adaptation, built into the rocky canyons and sandy mountains. Hidden from plain sight, these settlements blend seamlessly into the rugged landscape, with homes and workshops hewn directly from the stone. Here, in the cool shadows of their intricately carved dwellings, Sand Dwarves craft some of the finest weapons, tools, and art known to the world. Their craftsmanship is second to none, turning the raw materials of the earth into items of both beauty and function. Every hammer strike in their forges is a testament to their skill, and their goods are prized far and wide.
Though renowned for their craftsmanship, the Sand Dwarves are equally skilled in trade. They embark on long and arduous journeys across the vast deserts, their caravans braving the relentless sun and shifting sands. Hardened by their environment, they are capable of traveling great distances without rest, seeking trade with distant peoples. Their reputation as traders is as strong as their reputation as crafters—whether they barter for rare materials, exotic goods, or hard-won coin, the Sand Dwarves always come out on top.
Despite their outwardly hospitable nature, the Sand Dwarves are cautious and guarded, especially when it comes to outsiders. They treasure their wealth and their privacy in equal measure, always wary of those who might covet the riches hidden in their well-guarded vaults. Yet, once trust is earned, they become loyal friends and reliable partners. Driven by a natural inclination toward collecting wealth, their settlements are often filled with hoards of gold, gems, and treasures, but their true wealth lies in their intricate social bonds and unparalleled skill.
Although they live far from the crowded cities of other races, Sand Dwarves are by no means reclusive. They choose seclusion to protect their way of life, crafting hidden enclaves that reflect their love of solitude and security.
