Dwarf Heldane and Uithtan (2013)

From publisher blurb:

Dwarf Heldane and Uithtan; a racial-vocation supplement for Shattered Moon.

Heldanes are the first line of defence for most dwarven clan holds. A single Heldane is capable of holding off multiple opponents, stopping them in their tracks. Experts in the use of shields they have developed their own fighting techniques with which to keep the clan holds safe. But they're more than just glorified door keepers. The heldane's use of a shield allows them to use it as a weapon as well as a defence, they can use it to protect another while still fighting their own battle and they draw upon a deep sense of honour and duty which allows them to take down much larger opponents.

During the titan wars the dwarves were the artisans to the gods and the giants making artefacts that lived on in human legend long after the titans slept and the gods were gone. Now there are those dwarves who would have that knowledge, skill and power once more; they are the Uithtan. Going on a quest to find a site of high magic and elemental awe they build a great forge that enhances and focuses their energies allowing them to make weapons, armour and items beyond what others could even dream of doing. They may not be a front line fighter, or even a rear guard, but with the weapons, armour and magical equipment they fashion, they can decide the outcome of a battle just as surely as a raging troll.
