Vilkyats

The Vilkyats (also referred to as the "Cave-Men", "Deep-Folk", or the "Dwarves") were a race of Yat who inhabited Garbaterra long before the humans.

They use the term "Vilkyats", whose meaning was roughly translated to "people in the mines". However, they were commonly referred as "Dwarves" by men.

The First Age
Beginnings

The Vilkyats were originally a wealthy and prosperous society that made their home in portions of Otechestvo. Prior to the arrival of the Juyats, they prospered along side the Nengyats.

Peace with the Juyats

When the Juyats arrived from Grexica, the Vilkyats struck up a somewhat comfortable relationship with Juyats. While at first peaceful, the Vilkyats soon discovered that the Juyats were a cruel, fearsome, and fathomable horde of barbarians.
