Description
Uh oh! It ain't furry! Well, unless you count the 19th century facial hair.

A typical Lowland Dwarven musketeer in the light infantry, the 33rd Midlands Regiment of Wharton St. Eave.

-----

The Dwarves, by reputation, have always been an industrious and tough race. A millennia and a half ago they emerged the sole survivors in a brutal war of extinction between the Gnomes, Goblins, and Dwarves. Since then they have settled and secured Ilfand, the lush and lofty confederacy of Dwarven cultures forming Sejhat's northeast quadrant.

After generations of rapid technological advancement, however, the traditionally poor Lowland clans united into a single, powerful kingdom powered by industry, commerce, and science. In their attempts to expand the benefits of industrialized society to their brethren the Lowlanders ran afoul of their Highland kin, a people steeped in tradition and ritual. The Dwarves grew further apart, then clashed in civil war to determine the fate of Dwarven society.

The war has continued intermittently for 50 years, and has fallen into a brutal pattern of attack, reprisal, and stalemate that has consumed fortunes and lives on a terrible scale. The Highlands and Lowlands alike grow weary, poor, and weak, but both factions know that one way or another the war must end soon, for a great shift is in the air and a disjointed, weakened Dwarven race will be flattened by it if they do not find peace.
