Dwarves

Dwarves were the second race to align with the Jovan Coalition. These short and stocky people are known for their ingenuity, resolve, and isolationism. Dwarves were only gifted one magical ability, that of enchantment. None-the-less, being the creative engineers they are, this has been used to great effect, powering machines and making mighty weapons. Magic is rare amongst the dwarves. Most the other races are unaware they even possess it. Dwarf Rune Masters are such a closely guarded secret that even those who aware of their existence do not know the number of them alive. Dwarves live around three-hundred years, owing to the dangerous lifestyle they lead.
