The Dwarves of Ironforge are the typical picture of a dwarf if it is from the realm of J.R.R. Tolkien. Dwarves, in my opinion are built like tanks. They are short but with that shortness comes a very sturdy build. They are resilient just like most of the other things that are connected to them. Dwarves are also very foolhardy and a bit rowdy but they make for a good crowd. They are also brave and courageous with the will, determination, stubbornness that makes them a great ally. The Dwarves are sided with the Alliance and their Capital City is Ironforge. Like the dwarves, Ironforge is a strong and magnificent city. It is carved into a mountain in the center of Khaz Modan. This is just like the Dwarven kingdom of Erebor form J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. If you haven't noticed, I am a huge Tolkien fan/nerd and I think this deserves a little back story. In Middle Earth, there are many races of beings. There are Humans, Elves, Hobbits, Dwarves, Wizards (only five exist), Goblins, and Orcs. There were seven dwarf kingdoms in Middle Earth. The greatest of them all was Erebor. Erebor was the wealthiest kindom in all of Middle Earth. It was carved into the heart of a mountain and it went miles deep into the earth. Sometimes I wonder if the WOW creators got the inspiration for Ironforge from Erebor. If you have seen The Hobbit movies and if you play WOW and have seen Ironforge, then you would know what I am talking about. The head of the Dwarf race is a triumvirate of sorts. There are three clans and there is one leader from each clan. Dwarves are my third favorite race because of Tolkien and because of Ironforge. I love how it provides a feeling of protection because you feel safe and welcome inside the mountain. That and also because of the giant iron door at the entrance that not event the most powerful mage could break. The special abilities for the dwarves are:
- StoneForm: This is an ability that turns the dwarf into a stone form that rids the character of any poisons and other harmful effects and provides natural armor.
- Frost Resistance: Dwarves have a natural resistance to frost damage. Just look at where they live and you'll know why.
- Explorer: Dwarves have an increase in the skill of archaeology.
- Might of the Mountain: Dwarves are very tough both in battle and in nature so they have a natural increase in critical strike.
