==== Svartalves ====
The setting's version of dwarves. Surprisingly, they're not alcoholic berserkers with scottish accents, but xenophobic grey-aliens with goatees. They're still extremely greedy and vengeful, not to mention bloodthirsty warriors, though they are famously good for their word. They have a reputation for being THE neutral faction, their schtick is basically "you don't mess with us, we don't mess with you," and they're deeply reactionary; no service will go unpaid and no slight unanswered. Tend to sell their services as skilled craftsmen and artisans. They're known for making their own version of Thorn Manacle, except theirs are iron while the ones made by trolls are made of faerie metal(which has essentially all the properties of steel but crumples like aluminum when hit with iron). They consider any attacks (intentional or otherwise) on their people and scions acts of war against Svartalfheim, and will respond with violence to a degree considered excessive even by the rest of the supernatural world. This terrifying image is somewhat offset by the fact that every Svartalf of either gender is a massive (but in most cases chivalrous) pervert with a fetish for non-svartalves, until you see them in combat that is, when you go right back to being terrified of them. They have been known to accept sex as payment instead of money.
