Duergar

Duergar - Gray Dwarf

The duergar, also known as gray dwarves, used to dwell in fantastic cities deep in the Underdark. They have recently been sighted in various locations in Eomas, most recently in an underground fortress near Frostgorge Sound (see Game-Summaries:11/17 Recollections). Most duergar (including females) are bald and have ashen gray skin. They wear drab clothing designed to blend in with stone, along with simple jewelry that reflects their severe and utilitarian demeanor.

They appear to be expert craftsmen and artificers, constructing clockwork appartuses and magical machines. Their craftsmanship and accomplishments endure, yet they are bereft of warmth or artistry. Duergar forge alliances when it is convenient, then break those alliances when they have nothing more to gain. At least one tribe has been discovered to have been working with Imphraezl.

Like dwarves, duergar have strong constitutions. Adding to their physical stamina is an incredible mental fortitude. A duergar’s mind is a fortress, able to shrug off charms, illusions, and other spells.

Some duergar have the ability to turn invisible, though it is unclear if this is a natural ability or one that is facilitated by some device. Some can increase their size and strength for a short time, becoming a powerful ogre-sized warriors.
