Editing Periodic Table of Dragons/RaceDescriptions (section)

==Dwarves==

Like the Elves, Dwarves are divided into two main groups, the Land Dwarves who are your generic fantasy dwarves, and Sea Dwarves.
*Most dwarves make their living in great halls of stone with largely self-sustaining communities. Having to depend on others is seen as a great weakness by dwarves, but at the same time, they place a strong value on dependable allies and trusted friends. With an innate connection to the earth they surround themselves with, dwarves tend to be great metal-smiths and stonework artisans. They also have be better understanding of Metallic and Crystalline dragons than most other races. 
*Almost all dwarven communities have a king or queen, but whether that monarch actually rules with authority or is only a respected symbol of the collective varies from one community to the next.
*In recent (by dwarven standards) times, poisonous gas from Radon dragons under the granite where they carved their halls seeped into several of their settlements, and few were able to remain behind, though some are determined to reclaim their ancestral halls. These stubborn remnants took in the displaced Stone Elves, and together they are working to clear the tunnels.
*When Radon dragons filled the City Under the Mountain with choking gas, it drove the majority of survivors into a world already taken by other races. They had to go to the only available area, the sea. These dwarves built strange ships of metal that move without aid from oarsmen or the wind. They have also created large platforms out on the oceans, which draw up valuable materials and fuel from the sea floor through means that the other races have yet to uncover.
*They dredge the bottom of the sea for metals from within strange machines that they call Underships (submarines), bringing up metals once thought to only occur in dragons' scales. 
*They rely heavily on farming the seas for food, and have some of the most refined recipes for seafood anywhere.
