Dwarves generally live in subderanean cities they have dug deep under the mountains. All dwarves once lived in Xorlosh, their holiest city, in the northern part of the Iron Forest, which dwarves call the Ingra Knolls. Many large dwarven tribes developed from the eight founding families of the Angroshim and soon spread under most mountain ranges in Aventuria. The fierce Anvil dwarves live in the aptly-named Anvil Mountains as well as in the Thash.
