Darán - Àgrathar (Volcano Dwarves)
Àgrathin (Volcano Dwarf) - 18 points

The volcano dwarves are in the minority of the dwarves of Darán, comprising perhaps a quarter of the total population. They once filled the mountains of Darán and built the great Imperial Halls that now lie in ruin in Hytrachon, as well as countless other wonders. Since the war five hundred years previous, when the rest of the world - save the elves, and their cousins the ocean dwarves - thought they had been killed to the last, the Àgrathar have retreated to the mountains of the same massive island southeast of the mainland to which the elves and Òkoloe fled.

The Àgrathar are short and swarthy as a whole; the males have full beards after the age of majority (females have no facial hair), and both genders sport full heads of hair with no tendency toward natural baldness, although some - especially those who work in the forges themselves - are clean-shaven both in face and scalp. Although they are short - 4'6" on average - they are as strong, on average, as a human, and considerably harder to kill. (They do not, however, fight, as a general rule, except to defend themselves.)
