Disposition - : Sha`Qual Dwarves love the sanctuary of a subterranean environment (deep under the mountains). Unlike their distant cousins, the Kithrin Dwarves, who dwell mainly upon the surface (tunneling down to a league (3 miles) into the earth), the Sha`Qual delve and explore into the bowels of the earth in search of Gem-Vein (solid gem naturally growing within rock veins).

Rivaling their love of Gem`Vein, the Sha`Qual highly enjoy Dwarven Hammermouth (their signature brew, holding it as if it were a loyal family member. The Sha`Qual do not take kindly to any who insult it.
Needs ------- : Basic necessities of life (food, water shelter, Etc.).
Notes -------- : As if in answer to their close cousins invention of Kohakk, the Sha`Qual have invented their own form of hard liquor, Dwarven Hammer Mouth, an extremely offensive tasting alcohol.
Notes -------- : They do not especially like outsiders, and are loath to entertain such (especially Elves and Humans).
Unless agreements have been established, The Sha`Qual will not dig within the territory of the Kithrin.
Where a Sha`Qual civilization has been established, there will always be a Kithrin civilization above, for they coexist, keeping open the lines of commerce and trade (trade from within the deep, and through other races upon the surface). Contact is limited to only those known to be trusted.
The first line of defense upon the border of Sundrivar is Ebon`Gate, a heavily fortified and manned to keep safe the passages upward. This is a bottleneck, for there is only one way giving access into Sha`Qual civilizations built up to the border of Kithrin territory.
Sundrivar: All Dwarves know there is an endless below, and they eagerly explore these vast and natural underground regions which cannot be all mapped. Sundrivar harbors a vast array of unknown caverns, tunnels, chasms, passages, secrets and encounters. The dwarves are among the few races willing and able to venture deep into Sundrivar.
