"Although it Phoenecians may sound boastful, they don't tend to make themselves higher than anyone but give pride to themselves and take it as an achievement for their clan. So, Phoenecians aren't bad people but are energetic. I suppose?" Lawrence scanned through the book.
"They often grow their hair longer than many other-Race males, as long as females. But they tend to look better with that type of hair, so they treat it normally. Interesting. I did once have long hair. Although, if I recall, it wasn't a pleasant memory." he thought of him being teased as the General with long hair back when he was called Julius. He shivered.
Lawrence turned to the following few pages and began reading it, "Vaelishith, the Great Continent of all Gwarvians."
.
Great Vaelishith is a continent named after the mountains found inside it. It has many tall known mountains like Mt. Resteve with an approximation of more than 10 thousand meters in height.
"Isn't that just a riff-off of Mt. Everest?" Lawrence laughed.
Vaelishith has more mountains, hills, and canyons than any other Great Continent. There are biomes like Taiga, Grassland, Tundra, Deciduous Forest, and Alpine. Those who live inside the mounts, peaks, mountains, and canyons are the Golem-Human forgers. They dedicate themselves to having a hammer and an anvil.
Their creations are their life works. It goes the same for their children and their children's children. People call them mighty, prideful, stingy, but great perfectors, the Gwarvians. They have bodies of mountains, muscles of boulders, beards like towers. Despite that, many Gwarvians are good-looking, if you compare them to puny Plebians or Magicians, of course.
There is two beauty within their Race is Blacksmitery Coordination and Surface Agriculture. When Gwarvians forge, their coordination is so perfect that it is art- The hammers swing, the swinging of forgers, the sweat that drops, the sound that clashes onto the minerals, the blazing fire of the furnace, and the mining of ores. All of it is art.
Gwarvians who do not dedicate their lives as blacksmiths live on the surface. They follow their dreams and reach high. The beauty of it is the Gwarvians themselves. Gwarvians who aren't bulky, bearded, and loud are delicate, beautiful, tall, elegant, and soft. Gwarvian men who do not dedicate their lives to forging are refined, respectful, and gentle. They tend to make their hair long like women.
As for the appearances of Gwarvian women within the surface; Beautiful, Elegant, but Monstrous. Even Gwarvian within forgery is defined the same, but never anger them because they can be monstrous than tigers. The difference between Gwarvian Forgers and Surface Gwarvians is their minds. Forgers tend to be more stupid when it comes to vast knowledge or trading knowledge. But they can be the smartest when it comes to forging. But they tend to be much easier to persuade or easier to fool.
That's why Gwarvians created a balance to protect their race from being deceived by others. The Surface Dwellers and The Cavern Dwellers. The Surface Dwellers handle the deals with other Races while the Cavern Dwellers do the work. Although, there are Gwarvians that do the same. They're called Heaven Dwellers. Those who dwell within the caves and the surface of Mysse.
The Heaven Dwellers may look delicate, elegant, soft, and easily persuaded, but those who think they are, are greater fools. Heaven Dwellers are powerful despite having a look of a frail body. Their beauty cannot compare with other Dwellers. Heaven Dwellers are trusted and looked up to by their fellow Dwellers. They were chosen as leaders and rulers to guide, prosper, and bring wealth to Gwarvians.
Within Gwarvians, there is no one lower than everybody else. All are equal. All are one. They protect one another without any exemptions and would die for each other. They show respect to leaders because Heaven Dwellers lead them to prosperity. As for Gwarvians that aren't Heaven Dwellers are treated equally in the past and even in the present.

"Dragon Peak Mountain, Kingdom Neldihr." - The Greatest Kingdom of Gwarvians located in the Northern part of Great Vaelishith.
The Dragon Peak Mountain is the highest in all the Great Continent, seventeen thousand meters by height and five hundred kilometres in width. The "Greatest Gwarvian Kingdom" was built eight thousand meters below the peak of Dragon Mountain. So unless you possess the stone of Gwarvian, there is no way you can reach the entrance of this place by climbing. Because the height of where the gate of the Kingdom is, nine thousand meters above the surface.
The mountain is so large that the city is more than 300 kilometres big. Inside the "Dragon Peak Mountain" is a large cave with a dragon sculpture in the middle of the Kingdom. There is even a castle inside it for the royal Gwarvians. The ores found inside the mountain is said to be endless veins. Meaning, there was no end to the ores inside it even after mining it because the veins regenerate and produce more ores.
Since the Cavern Kingdom was enormous, there were "Caverns" to determine the regions of the place. The Caverns are, in increasing order(from the highest to top); Cave of Deceased, Cave of Afterlife, Cave of Ragnarok, Cavern of War Armageddon, The Cavern Resurrection, The Birth Cavern, The Cavern of No Desire, Cavern of Noble, and Cave of Nirvana Enlightenment.
This Kingdom served as the Home of the Best Blacksmiths. And each Cave determined the level of expertise between Gwarvians. As the higher the Cavern goes, the lesser Gwarvians there is, until the last Cave, which has a population of less than a hundred. The Cave of Nirvana Enlightenment is fourteen thousand meters from the surface, where the Castle of Gwarvians built.
.
"Eight Noble Path Mountain, Kingdom Hilrim." - The second-largest Kingdom of Gwarvians is located a little south of the first-largest Kingdom.
Although "Eight Noble Path Mountain" isn't the second largest and longest mountain, it is still one of the biggest. It has an approximation of eight thousand meters of height. The Kingdom is inside this mountain. The residents and forgers of this Kingdom are also proficient with their jobs. Without 50 years of Blacksmithing experience, you cannot enter the place unless you are of royal blood with an innate ability to forge, more talented than other Gwarvians.
This Kingdom has eight Caverns; Right View, Cavern of right-view, Cavern right-aspiration, Cavern of right-speech, Cavern of right-action, Cavern right-livelihood, Cavern right-effort, Cavern of right-mindfulness, Cavern of right-concentration.
The Caverns do not possess any authority upon the other Caverns. All Caverns in this Kingdom has the same prestige and rank.
