Theiwar Dwarf
Theiwar, also known as Thankless or Derro dwarves, are
one of the Clans of Dwarves who live in the
underground kingdom of Thorbardin. Their appearance
is thin and undernourished, with unkempt black hair and
their beards are usually scraggly. Their skin is white due
to their aversion to the sun, and any bright light will
blind them. They commonly wear heavy cloth and
chainmail armor that hangs down to their knees.

known as the dwarven enclave of Goldmantle, in
legendary terms. It has long been established that
dwarves inhabited the mountains of southern Ansalon
long before the polar ice laid claim to its surface, but
few relics o have been unearthed
from the frozen depths. A passage to Aurvarindun would
undoubtedly lead explorers to treasures unimaginable
and, beyond the seemingly endless maze of
passageways, to the tombs of the Vrakar. The Vrakar
dwarves of Goldmantle are, too, legendary. They forged
their weapons from the purest, most unbreakable steel,
created perhaps in the fiery heart of Krynn itself, and
brought the weapons to the surface in their tireless
efforts to purge the mountains of
and monsters.
The Vrakar dwarves were unlike many of their
dwarven descendants, being a deeply spiritual and
magical people with great sorceries at their command.
Most of this magic was tapped to build the wondrous
cavern-cities in which the Vrakar lived and the fabled

tombs in which they placed their honored dead, as well
as the wards used to protect the cities from invasion and
the tombs from thieves.

Vrakar Dwarf feat

If your DM allows the use of feats, your Vrakar dwarf character
has the option of taking the following feat.
Vrakaran Blacksmith
Prerequisites: Dwarf, Vrakar
With the proper pure metal and tools, any armor, weapons, or
tools you craft are considerably more powerful than their
mundane counterparts.
Vrakaran armor is +1 magical armor, unaffected by the cold,
and cannot be tarnished by fire. If you are also a cleric, such
armor grants you resistance to damage taken from dragons,
their spawn (i.e., draconians and true spawn), behirs, wyverns,
manticores, and chimerae. Furthermore, any undead that
touch your armor suffers 1d12 radiant damage. If the undead
fails a Constitution saving throw (DC 15), it is destroyed upon
contact.
Vrakaran weapons are +1 magical weapons, unaffected by
the cold, and cannot be tarnished by fire. If you are also a
cleric, such weapons do maximum damage against dragons,
their spawn (i.e., draconians and true spawn), behirs, wyverns,
manticores, and chimerae. Furthermore, any undead touched
by an a -set handle suffers 1d12 radiant damage. If the
undead fails a Constitution saving throw (DC 15), it is
destroyed upon contact with the gemstone. Finally, since
these axes are blessed weapons, they are particularly useful
against frost-wights.

Gully Dwarf Names

When gully dwarves are born, they are often given
simple names. As gully dwarves grow older, they often
change these names, depending on new words they
have heard or deeds they have performed. Tribe names
follow the same pattern of simple one or two syllable
words.
Male and Female Names: Birt, Blip, Bupu, Clout, Faze,
Grub, Guk, Gus, Jeb, Maggot, Ooz, Phudge, Pog, Rags,
Ratt, Regal, Scab, Sestun, Scatter, Squat, Thump, Twitch,
Verm
Tribe Names: Bulp, Bung, Churp, Gug, Hak, Plug

Gully Dwarf
Though technically dwarves, most sentient races
consider your people the lowest of the low, the
anguished, or Aghar. Despite all that you know that the
other races are just jealous of your good looks and
cunning.
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases
by 2. Your Intelligence score decreases by 2.
Size. Gully dwarves stand between 3 and 4 feet tall
and average just over 100 pounds. Your size is Small.
Pitiable. Gully dwarf diplomacy consists of flattery,

this ability to a fine art. Whenever you make a Charisma

(Persuasion) check related to convincing an enemy not
to harm you, you are considered proficient in the
Persuasion skill and add double your proficiency bonus
to the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.

Gully dwarf shamans

Aghar are rarely spellcasters, but occasionally a tribe will rally
around the spiritual leadership of a shaman. These aghar are
more often than not, simply aghar with a penchance for
showmanship, rather than individuals capable of manipulating
magical or divine power.
Such characters are best represented with the acolyte
background, and are members of non-magical classes, such as
fighters, rogues, barbarians, etc.
