Dwarf
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
Dwarves are deathless humanoid creatures, encased in stone. They once inhabited the Shiverpeak Mountains. They gave up their flesh and their mortality 250 years ago in the name of their god, the Great Dwarf, to help defeat Primordus' greatest general, the Great Destroyer. They were successful, but at a great price.
Their physiology is short, stocky, bearded and, of course, rocky. Once the greatest crafters and and smiths in Tyria, their position was quickly taken by the Asura after their demise.
Those few Dwarves who survived the battle against the Great Destroyer live an isolated, unending existence in the depths of Tyria and the highest reaches of the mountains. Scattered across the continent, they now serve as the guardians of Tyria from the minions of Primordus who dwell beneath the ground. As long as they try to break out and find new ways of reaching the surface, the Dwarves will be watching.
And waiting.
