Mostali

Descended from the creations of Mostal the Shaper, today's Mostali are copies of the original forms made in the Godtime. They are stout and solidly built, as expected for a creature of stone and stasis. The majority toil endlessly at labors intended to repair the "world machine", although a few groups associate with the world that exists outside of their tunnels and underground vaults. Known as "Dwarves" to many other races, these crafters are master of technological gifts from their god and know many secrets about shaping metal and other minerals. While all remaining Dwarves are technically "Clay Dwarves", they organize themselves in a hierarchy based on the original mythological materials that their forebears were crafted from. Thus, they are Gold Dwarves, Iron Dwarves, Quicksilver Dwarves and so on. These castes specialize in various crafts and the administrative or magical skills needed to run that caste's purviews of their community. Generally, Mostali practice Sorcery, giving their God Mostal veneration through their work and social practices.
