Editing Dwarfs (Warhammer Fantasy) (section)

==Descendant Races==
In the [[Age of Sigmar]], at least three varieties of dwarf have survived the apocalypse, besides the normal dwarfs, and preserve the history of the dawi in some way; the fire-spewing, [[Slayer]]-like [[Fyreslayers]], the actual Slayers known as the Unforged, and the [[Kharadron Overlords]], which are dwarfs who resided in the Chamon-realm and escaped Chaos by building flying cities which now mine gaseous "ur-gold" from the clouds.

In addition, there are the [[Cities of Sigmar]], which house all manner or Order-Aligned races, Dwarfkind included. That said, the Dwarfs are rather under-represented with only the Dispossessed (The basic Dwarf footsloggers and Runelords) and Ironweld Arsenal (Steamtanks and other war machines) being represented while the rest seem to have been forgotten. According to the Ossiarch Bonereapers lore, given their record keeping when they hunt for bones, Dwarfs are outnumbered by humans and elves (or they take care of their dead more than the others).

Passing mention is also made of a [[Ghyran]]-dwelling dwarven race called the Rootkings, who forge their weapons from razor sharp seedpods, dye their hair green, and worship Alarielle.

There are also the Valay, who resemble a Duardin from the waist up and a squid from the waist down, who live in Ghyran's seas, who are fond of hoarding ithilmhair (congealed magic in the seas currents forming over time into a material strong enough to withstand blows from Ghal Maraz) and like to play deadly word games with others. It is unknown if the Valay are related in any way with the Merkaveth, a race of feral beings described as being half-aelf, half-octopus, who are said to be related to the [[Menfish]].

The Shadow Duardin are mentioned as a subspecies that originated in Ulgu, but emigrated to Aqshy.
