Homebrew Calculating Craftsman Species Details
Gunsmiths, tinkerers, and inventors, dwarves make their home near the northern edge of the eternal night in the fortress city of Rosegate. With the invention of cannons and firearms, the dwarven city is largely considered virtually unsiegable. While still under threat of creatures from the Wolfwood, Rosegate is safer than most every other location outside of Viridia. Dwarves have little evolutionary advantage over others, so they forge it for themselves, improving every technology that they come across and paving the way for scientific advances.
