Creatures born of the Aenlong, the Dimora are believed to cross into the world as formless elementals. They then build themselves out of the earth, taking on the form of stony, vaguely mole-like creatures. They are constantly shifting in density and composition, perpetually shedding the soil of their bodies and replacing what’s lost with fresh loam from the ground beneath them.
The motivations for the Dimora to cross into this realm are generally unknown, as they rarely stray far from the rifts that allowed them entry, they refuse to communicate with any creatures except the Dwarves, and they seek no contact with the outside world. They aggressively defend the land around their rifts, however; pubs and taverns all across the world are filled with stories of travelers destroyed without warning for accidentally trespassing on land the Dimora have claimed as their own.
