Dwarf

Dwarves are a stout race of stubborn and industrious workers. They can be found wherever manual labour is needed; not due to any servitude, they merely prefer to see the work done by those who are most proficient in it. They are longer lived than all races but the Treants, and prefer to identify one area of work and truly master it, than to generalise. Their society is relatively divinely focused, though many lack the openness to receive significant power, and prefer to stick to more martial endeavours.
