Aufghel is a mountain said to contain a great Dwarven treasure. Borghild was once rumored to contain a method to reach Mt. Aufghel. Dwarves have an affinity with the gods Ormorek and Vol. Dwarven marriages are often predetermined through contracts between families. An engagement often lasts twenty years. Dwarves use their last names in public. There was a series of Elf-Dwarf wars in the past. Some Dwarves are artists or poets.

I'm intrigued about the "flammable" comment, which leads me to wonder if they're *more* flammable than the other races....

Scurrilous lies told by jealous dwarves who don't understand the meaning of phrases like "simultaneous invention" and "multiple discovery". That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! ;)

There's no karma/voting here, but I was thinking of it, @Luconis.

Do they wax or pomade their beards?

Are they Dapper Dan men?

Found more dwarf info, pulled from the KS page.

"
The Dwarves are stout, dour subterranean people and Kickstarter Backers will have exclusive access to them during the alpha and beta period! Kickstarter backers below the Patron level will be able to unlock the Dwarven class through in-game objectives, while those at or above the Patron level will have them automatically unlocked once available.

The personality of Dwarves varies greatly as some are introverts, some can be a bore, and some are precision craftsmen, while others solely decide to rely on their exceptional strength. There is one thing they all have in common, they love the underground and it’s the only place they truly feel at home.

Dwarven players will be able to unlock the secrets of the ancient race, they include:

The ability to track your position underground,
Spells that let you hide in stone momentarily,
A combat stance that makes you unmovable,
Long-forgotten weapon-crafting techniques.

These secrets come with a dark side, however, for their patron god Ormorek is also the god of bitterness, self-doubt, and lost innocence. In ages past, Dwarves were their own worst enemies, and players who unearth these ancient techniques will have to battle with ancient foes -- both within and without.

Glad to see that there was a bit about dwarves in the change notes.
