Dwarves in Grisaire (Grisaire Supplement)
From D&D Wiki
Dwarves are a mainstay race in Grisaire, with a common ancestor believed to have originated first from the mountainous regions of Premius. Following clan growth, power struggles, and external forces encroaching on their ancestral land, it is believed that is why dwarves ended up venturing elsewhere, even going as far as sailing seaward.

Dwarvish Language[edit]
- See also Dwarven Language
The language of the dwarves is very versatile, particularly its script. This has led to various other languages to adopt it as their written script. Dwarven speech is characterized as perhaps the closest to how Dwarvish script is written.
Religion[edit]
Dwarves subscribe primarily to two gods by convention. They are Manus Infinitum and Igu-Rab-Ichi. There are some other gods that different dwarves revere, but they are more niche and localized.
- Manus Infinitum is the god of creation and hard work for dwarves. These two values are virtues for the stoic and steadfast race of brilliant carvers, traditional stoneworkers, and fastidious craftsmen. The symbol of Manus can be found within many a dwarven forge or workshop as a kind of good luck emblem. Outside of crafting and the usual dwarven work, Manus Infinitum also reinforces work ethics in dwarves, teaching that conventions of hard, mundane work is fulfilling in and of itself. This pervades into dwarven households, encouraging that families be diligent in chores, childrearing, and life overall.
- Igu-Rab-Ichi is the god of metal and weaponscraft for dwarves. The other aspects of Igu-Rab-Ichi are less in the limelight, including violence, anger, and greed. Igu-Rab-Ichi serves as a multifaceted god that teaches dwarves the duplicitous value of craft and raw material. Iron, for example, can be used to make weapons to kill, but also make crafting various arts. Gold is not as versatile as iron, and yet it holds a value that people will kill over. Dwarves have to maintain a vigilant mind against the pervasive greed that tempts them and their neighbors when it comes to their natural bounty and skill.
