Uncover the ancient secrets, unyielding honor, and tragic majesty of the Dwarf empire with Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: Lords of Stone and Steel. While the human Empire hogs the spotlight of the Old World, the mountain-dwelling Dwarfs (the Dawi) fight a desperate, endless war to defend what remains of their once-vast realm, the Karaz Ankor. From the bustling, soot-stained cannon foundries of Karak Norn in the Grey Mountains to the grand, ruined halls lost to Orcs, Goblins, and the foul Skaven, this essential supplement brings the rich history and stubborn culture of the Dwarfs right to your tabletop.
Whether your party is looking to forge an alliance with legendary Dwarf patrons, hunt for unimaginable treasures buried deep within fallen holds, or navigate the complex web of blood-sworn oaths and multi-generational grudges, this supplement provides everything a Game Master needs to run unforgettable, underground adventures.

Game Master's Campaign Tip: The Dwarf devotion to enacting vengeance is a goldmine for narrative conflict.

Even a simple, accidental slight from a human ancestor can turn a routine trading mission into a high-stakes diplomatic nightmare or a dangerous quest for restitution!
