Editing Iron Kingdoms (section)

===Dwarves (Rhulfolk)===

{{see also|Dwarf}}
The dwarves of the Iron Kingdoms don't stray too far from the standard fantasy model in most respects. They like mining (although they mostly don't actually live in their mines), they have a high degree of magical and technological skill (with no limitations on their use of magic) but mostly turn it towards spells and tech that are already proven to be stable and reliable rather than bonkers experimentation, they're incredibly Lawful-aligned and crazy about contracts and family lines, are very obsessive about perfecting their chosen crafts, and even have the innate ability to be better at wearing heavy armour than other races. 

The main unique thing that's been mixed into IK Dwarven culture are a bunch of stereotypes about the Swiss. No, really. Dwarves have a strong military that they never use because they're obsessive about staying on peace terms with every other nation, keep everyone afraid of that army via constant mercenary activity, and have used those peace terms to create a massive trading fleet. If the Iron Kingdoms had ready access to chocolate (which does exist in-world but is an incredibly luxurious good that comes from the southern continent of Zu), the Dwarves would probably be the best at making it. 

Also all Dwarves in IK are clean-shaven. As in, they shave their beards. We're not fuckin' kidding here. Clean. ''Shaven''. '''''Dwarfs'''''. Fetch your heart medication, take a few. You good? Need a break? No reason to be down about it, you might need more than a few hours to get through this.

Moving on.
