Semeru Dwarves

The dwarves who transfer with Larracos to the twelfth floor, one of whom finishes Ysalte's statue at the last moment.

Story so far

The Semeru dwarves were counted among those who would ride Zerzura down — along with all the Changelings and the thousands of NPCs who lived in Larracos, they would move to Ascendency on The Twelfth Floor.

In the final seconds, a dwarf cried 'Finished' at Carl's left: he had completed the rebuilt statue that had been broken in front of the castle, the statue of the dwarven goddess Ysalte, with her giant pickaxe over her shoulder.

Appearance

Stout dwarven craftsmen still working stone in the last minutes before the floor's destruction.

Role

NPC allies transferring with the city, and the builders who restored the goddess's statue before it left.

Relationships

Larracos — Transfer with the city to the twelfth floor.
Ysalte — Rebuilt her broken statue in front of the castle.
Zerzura — Moved by the spell along with the city's NPCs.
