Gemheart Dwarves
The Gemheart Dwarves are the descendants of a pioneering clan that left an overpopulated home. Discovering a mountain rich in gemstones and rare precious metals, but poor in iron and the like, they adapted the skills of their forefathers to suit their new surroundings. Becoming master jewelers and gemologists, it was not long before their scholars discovered that such finely made jewelry would welcome enchantments and other magics most often limited to other mediums. Their work, both mundane and mystical, is renowned across the world. Gemhearts have become avid travelers, searching far and wide for new techniques that they can apply to their crafts and are welcome guests in almost all lands.
Generations of fine work and mystical studies have changed the Gemhearts, however, rendering them less introspective and robust than their more common cousins. Instead, they have developed sharp minds and dexterous fingers, and an eagerness that sometimes comes before common sense.
