Duergar

Long ago, mind flayers conquered the strongholds of clan Duergar. After generations of enslavement and cruel experimentation at the hands of the illithids, the Duergar rose against their masters and regained their freedom. They emerged as a new subrace of Dwarf with limited mental powers. They are an evil and bitter race, but retain the superior skill and workmanship of Dwarvenkind.
