  Dwarves
   
  Shortly after the first dwarves arrived in the Crystalmists, the Gyri began trading with 
  them, exchanging leather, wood and other hand-crafted items for weapons, tools and 
  precious metals.  With the introduction of the iron plow to the Gyri Flan by Oerdian and 
  Suel settlers, the dwarven trade turned to farming tools leading to the establishment of 
  farms and later settled steadings in many parts of Gyruff.  For many generations after, the 
  dwarves and Gyri existed together, exchanging goods and providing mutual defense. 
   
  When Geoff was invaded by the giants, Owen the Brenin sent messengers to the 
  Dwarven Thane of Three Holds seeking aid against the giants, but the dwarves could not 
  answer.  The Thane had died just days before Owen’s messengers arrived and the 
  dwarves were unable to provide aid until they had selected a successor to the dead thane.  
  It is debatable whether or not dwarven aid would have been enough to stop the giant 
  advance, but their inability to offer assistance certainly sped up the fall.     
   
  During the invasion, Clan Underhill was driven from its traditional areas and forced to 
  take refugee in the Stark Mounds.  Subsequently, they have been rebuilding their forces 
  at their new clan hold of Urtcheck, while working to reestablish ties with the other two 
  clans. 
   
  Following the giant invasion, Clan Deepholm became embroiled in a war with the 
  Dreugar which cut off communications between Gyruff and Clan Deepholm and 
  prevented clan members from coming to the aid of their brethren or Gyruff.  In 593 CY, 
  the Gyri reestablished contact with Clan Deepholm and the clan moved to a new home 
  away from the Dreugar.  We hope that with the threat of the Dreugar removed, Clan 
  Deepholm will begin to assist Gyruff in its war against the giants.  Much could be gained 
  by Deepholm actions on the giants’ flank. 
   
  Even more recently, contact has been reestablished with Clan Stonereaver.  Also hard hit 
  by the giant forces, this clan is struggling to rebuild its strength, but it is doing so with 
  new-found hope since it can now communicate with its fellow clans.
