▲'''Dwarves''' are one of many [[races]] in ''[[RuneScape]]''. They live predominately in [[Keldagrim]], their capital city, and the city of [[Lovakengj]] on [[Great Kourend]], but are also found in various mines and settlements across [[Gielinor]].
In stature, Dwarves tend to be shorter than [[humans]], usually being slightly above human-waist height, but considerably stockier. They are long-lived, although they tend to be gruff and short in temper. They are particularly fond of ale and often have long beards. Dwarves are particularly well known for being excellent blacksmiths, miners, and craftsmen, but usually a dwarf specialises in one area. Dwarves primarily use power-based weapons in combat, such as [[battleaxe]]s, [[warhammer]]s and [[crossbow (weapon)|crossbow]]s.
==History
The dwarves were one of the races brought to [[Gielinor]] by [[Guthix]] the [[God]] of Balance during the [[First Age]]. The dwarves probably lived on the surface, in villages like the humans did.
During the [[Second Age]] a group of dwarves known as the [[Imcando dwarf|Imcando dwarves]] dedicated themselves to the god [[Saradomin]].
When the [[God Wars]] began most of the dwarves retreated underground to avoid the cataclysmic battles, this led them to adapt to life underground and establishment of the city [[Keldagrim]]. Some of the dwarves eventually fled across the [[Western
The dwarves of Keldagrim stayed underground for centuries after the God Wars ended, as they were not aware of it. When they resurfaced, they began to establish connection and relations with the [[human]] settlements and kingdoms allowing them to expand their territory, though primarily underground. They also got into conflict with various groups of [[goblin (race)|goblins]]
==Culture==
Line 25 ⟶ 19:
The dwarves are not religious, and although they are Guthixian, they never really worship Guthix in festivals or rituals. There is also a small and secretive cult of dwarves in the [[wilderness]] and in [[Taverley dungeon]] known as the [[chaos dwarves]], who worship [[Zamorak]]. And similarly the [[Imcando dwarf|Imcando dwarves]] worship [[Saradomin]].
