{{Infobox/Creature |name = Mountain-Folk |image = [[Image:MountF.gif|168px]] |caption = Mountainman from [[Memoirs of Sir Cabirus]] |alternatenames = Dwarf |firstappearance = [[Ultima I]], as "Dwarves" |lastappearance = [[Ultima Underworld I]] }} The '''mountain-folk''' are humanoids with a shorter body height than a typical [[humans|human]]. They basically have the same strengths and weaknesses as any human. In their culture, mining is especially common, and therefore greed for wealth isn't uncommon. In past days of [[Sosaria]] they were known as '''dwarves''' -- something which they today see as a huge offense. Their height was half that of a [[Human]] (but still taller than [[Bobbit]]s) and despite their short stature they were still heavier than the slender [[Elves]], strong, durable and courageous, and immune to alcohol. After the cataclysm that formed modern [[Britannia]], the mountain-folk slowly intermingled with human society and their short stature was slowly bred away over the years. By the time of the creation of the colony in [[the Abyss]], their culture was in great danger of total assimilation. Since they weren't heard of in later times, this may be exactly what happened to their kind in the end. Their last recorded appearance was in ''[[Ultima Underworld]]''. == Lore == {{LoreQuote |text = Mountain fold{{sic}} and legendary miners, the dwarves of Sosaria stand but half a human’s height, yet often outweigh slender elves. They are matchless in courage and possess and inordinate endowment of natural strength. Never accept the Sosarian dwarf’s challenge to wrestle for drinks in a tavern, unless thy supply of gold be endless and thy generosity ample. |book = The First Age of Darkness |game =Ultima I }} == Notable Examples == [[File:MetGthr.gif|thumb|200px|Meeting Goldthirst]] * [[Goldthirst]] is the leader of the mountain-folk in the failed Abyss-colony in ''Ultima Underworld''. The [[Avatar]] can get an important item and a password in exchange for a favor. Later, the Avatar can bribe Goldthirst with a huge gold nugget to get a really good weapon. * [[Shak]] is a blacksmith of unsurpassed skill in the Abyss-colony, who can even repair the broken [[Caliburn]] sword. *Others are: ** [[Brawnclan]] ** [[Hewstone]] ** [[Ironwit]] {{Races nav}} [[Category:Ultima I]] [[Category:Ultima II]] [[Category:Ultima III]] [[Category:Ultima Underworld]] [[Category:Creatures]] [[Category:Mountain-Folk| Mountain-Folk]]
