The mountains of Nevendaar have been silent for centuries, but they are not empty. Prepare to meet the Mountain Clans when Disciples: Domination releases on February 12. After the rise to power of the Liberator Avyanna, in between the events of Disciples: Liberation and Disciples: Domination, rumours began to spread: Dwarves were seen traveling old roads and forgotten tunnels, reclaiming ancestral strongholds deep beneath the earth.
Where had they hidden for so long? And why had they finally chosen to return?
“Long believed extinct, the Dwarves of Nevendaar are stepping out of legend and onto the battlefield once more. In Disciples: Domination, they emerge as a playable faction, resilient, rune-bound, and shaped by ancient faith, exile, and an uneasy rebirth.”
The Mountain Clans were once among the proudest races of Nevendaar. Their vaults, mines, and fortresses still scar the mountains, silent proof of a civilization that seemed lost to time. They have ruled the towering peaks at the heart of the continent, but have since retreated into the depths of the world.
The Dwarves have two major sub-factions:
- The Fundamentalists who have lived in isolation for centuries, united by one unshakable belief: Wotan, the Dwarven God, must return. They seek to reclaim the ancient glory of their kind and prevent Avyanna from reaching the Source.
- The Exiles are born from the events of Liberation. Rather than cling to isolation, they abandoned the mountain clans to reclaim old bastions and rejoin the wider world. This faction is varied and personal, with the goal to reclaim their lost strongholds and find a place in the new world.
The developers describe the Dwarves as extremely resilient frontline units, wearing heavy armor and using powerful defensive buffs. They also wield Runic Magic that enhances equipment, skills, and battlefield control. Choosing the Dwarves means choosing slow but devastating strikes.
