The Deep Dwarves of Gunud Gabilgathol

[doggypwn]

The Deep Dwarves are somewhat secluded, living in their mountain halls and deep delvings, but they do come out to war when threatened. The name of their greatest hall, Gunud Gabilgathol in the old language of the dwarves, means "excavated fortress" in the common tongue (look it up, Tolkien dictionary). The Deep Dwarves are masters of crafting and know many secrets of mining. Their greatest ability is their courage in the face of overwhelming odds and numbers, making them great explorers and resilient warriors. They seldom go to war, as I have stated, only when threatened do they sharpen their blades and ready the armor. The city of Gunud Gabilgathol is fairly new compared to most mountain halls the dwarves live in, being but barely 150 years old. Few of the Deep Dwarves actually live above sea level, and even fewer on the surface world. Their only concern with the surface world is the safety of their entrances and the strength of their walls. Being master masons, they also are extremely skilled at building structures out of almost any material. Their most prized possession is diamonds, and their second most prized is their gold. Being such a new hall, Gunud Gabilgathol has little gold, as it's mines are not fully established. But the greatest possession of these Deep Dwarves in terms of building is obsidian. Being such a strong, powerful substance, they use it for their walls, their homes, and even some for their livelihood. The greatest way to impress a dwarf is to show him your courage, and the greatest way to persuade a dwarf is to show him your treasure. Like obsidian, they are solid build, slightly larger around the sides than other dwarves, and about 3 to 4 feet tall. Their tallest only reach 5 feet at most. These dwarves are also extremely competent with redstone and it's workings, making them greatly resourceful with machinery and the way said machines run.
