This article is about an older version of DF.

Dwarven diplomacy

Once you have a Template:L, a Dwarven town liaison (and later, a city liaison) will arrive with the fall Template:L every year. You may request Template:Ls, Template:Ls, or Template:Ls from the liaison, which will arrive on the following year's caravan if the liaison makes it home alive.

Dwarves in adventure mode

Dwarves always start with Template:L equipment, making them the best-equipped race. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the shops are Template:L, so all Template:L upgrades will have to come from looting dwarven fortresses, most likely your own. (You can try slaughtering a living dwarf fortress for their stuff, but most guards have basic iron equipment like your own, and you will DIE.) If you can find a Human civilization with at least Template:L equipment, you can buy upgraded weapons and shields.

Dwarves have the highest natural armor of the adventuring races, at +1, but are one size smaller than Template:L and Template:Ls, so they cause less damage and absorb less damage.
