Setamorr dwarves (or simply Setamorr) live in deep underground mines. Their dwellings encircle rich deposits of kimenhite and ahepthi, two of the most powerful ores used to create charging powders. Setamorr society is like any other dwarven culture, except that their education focuses primarily on charging powders rather than dwarven axes. While they do enlist warriors for their protection, the bulk of Setamorr society is made up of miners, alchemists, and merchants. Because of the time and labor involved in the creation of Setamorr powders, they tend to be very expensive and sold only to the wealthiest of kingdoms and armies. This makes Setamorr powders very rare among surface-dwellers, but among their own ranks, charging powders are quite common and integral with their lives. Like regular dwarves, Setamorr possess both the musclebound and resistant (crafting magic) gimmicks, in addition to the cavernfolk background. New Styles
