Quartz Dwarves

The Quartz Dwarves are one of the seven Major Nations of Dwarves.

The Quartz dwarves get their names from the quartz cavern in which their king’s hall was made three millennia ago. The main mascot of the quartz dwarves, however, is the ram. The battle helms of nobles and knights are adorned with curling horns. The Quartz Dwarf King has become wealthy charging toll for using their road on the Short Pass through the Central Mountains. The toll is expensive, but the region is dangerous and the Quartz Dwarves do good job of keeping the pass safe. Besides the King’s Hall, the Quartz dwarves are concentrated to four other mountain strongholds; another in the Central Mountains, two in the Time Mountains and one in Dragon’s Jaw Ridge. Quartz dwarf settlements are prized targets of red dragons, though only once has one ever  successfully breached the vault.
