Marek is a representative of the Dwarven Kingdoms of the north to the Explorers Guild at the behest of Kendric. He is a Cleric of the Forge Father, a principle dwarven deity. He specializes in front line healing in the thick of combat welding ancestral weapons of his hold, primarily Axes and Heavy Maces.

He currently runs a traveling tavern that tends to set up very close to the most difficult battles the people of Dargarth face. No matter what part of the realm they may be in, folks of all types are often not far away from drinks or food at the Tavern.

"The Tavern" is a real physical place at most games, marked off by Ropes and metal stakes. It can be identified by the Large Red and Gold flag bearing the image of an Anvil.
All drinks in the tavern cost '''In Game "gold"''', rather than real world money. However real money tips are appreciated to keep it going and lower the cost.

'''Dwarves''' have AR 3.

A player who's character is a Dwarf gains no additional abilities or armor
===Basics===

The Dwarves are a race of short, stout humanoids. They are at most 4 to 4.5 feet tall but very broad of chest and strong of arm.

Dwarves in general have long thick beards but the Dwarf clans native to Dargarth don't hold a religious significance to facial hair and so some may go shaved or with heavily trimmed beards.

Dwarfs are on average a good deal shorter than either men, elves, or orks. This has the effect of making them ideally suited to the tunnels in which they live and work. Their bodies seem purpose-built for manual labour, solidly muscled, broad-shouldered and large thick fingered hands that belie considerable manual dexterity. Dwarfs are a very long-lived race with life-spans that can run into centuries, or rare occasions even into a millennium. As a dwarf becomes older so his beard becomes longer and thicker. Like the Orcs, dwarfs appear to become stronger the older they get, but unlike the Orcs, there appears to be a "Breaking Point" where the dwarf's health declines rapidly, always happening just a few years before the dwarf dies of old age.

Female dwarfs are very rarely seen outside dwarf realms which has led many people to believe that dwarf males can have babies or that dwarf women have beards. This is not true, dwarf women exist, do not have facial hair, but in general they are heavily built, armed and armoured; are muscular and grim, but instead of long beards have long hair wound into similar braids, worn beneath the helmet which they treasure as greatly as males do their beard.

===Behaviour===

Dwarves are loyal to clan and love drinking, food and games of chance. They are expert craftsman and miners, especially in stones, gems and metals.
Although armor and weapons may be stylized and engraved with great works of art, function is valued much higher in dwarven society than beauty for beauty's sake.

Although Dwarves are usually honest and keep their word, their love of wealth and gems can be said to match that of dragons. This
greed for gold has turned many a Dwarf to the path of evil, luckily the Dwarves almost religious admiration for "'''Honor'''" keeps most selfish tendencies in check.
