Dwarfdom

Torchlight plays across haggard faces. Hundreds of tired eyes watch a pair of scarred hands chisel runes.

"We honor you well, Lord of Nitoris," your owner declares between strikes of his hammer.

"We honor you well, Lord Nitoris." BANG.

"We honor you well..."

Finished, your master tosses his tools in your direction. He stands.

"We flee the dragons no farther! Consult the crystal cog!"

Those hundreds of eyes turn toward you. Unlike your own, they glisten with tears.

Rebuild a civilization

The dwarfs depend on you, their crystal golem, to guide their civilization after the dragon apocalypse. Defeat the enemy. Multiply the population. Build new cities. Explore a magical world. Trade with other Peoples. Thrive!
