The Polar Dwarves are an isolationist offshoot of the southerly Guild Dwarves. Long ago they split from their cousins who they deemed too bound by interactions with the other species of Itharia. They made their homes in the howling wastes of the far north where they built new bastions to hide away in. The long years have cultivated an entirely new culture that has used magic to embrace the deadly clime they now live in.
The advent of the summoning stones, and the ability to vast great distances in the blink of an eye, has had a calamitous impact on the dwarves. Their isolation was ended by Ret-Talus, and now the dwarves, armed with their own stone, seek vengeance on those who would deny them the Great Respite.
