Racial Views
Humans: Inconsistent, fickle creatures that are not only unpredictable but deeply untrustworthy. Establishing long working relationships with a human is almost impossible for their lifespans are so short it is impossible to truly get to know one.
Elves: Reliable trade partners who can be depended upon to act in a consistent manner although they are equally consistent in their arrogance. Their craftsmanship is of commendable quality. We share a common foe in the despicable drow
Drow: Vile creatures. Untrustworthy. Battling them for control of the underdark since time immemorial. Defilers of the Dwarves’ holy home.
Orcs: These savage creatures are little more than mongrels.
Goblins: These simple creatures are more like vermin than a true race. They are no better than orcs
Gnomes: Overall a race with good character, we have traded with them for many years and they have proven trustworthy stalwart friends to the dwarves. They are considered, especially by the newer generation of Dwarves, to be as kinsmen.
