The Dredge are a race of intelligent subterranean creatures that dwell deep below the ground in the Shiverpeak Mountains. They are humanoid in shape, but their heads are those of moles with tiny eyes and two lage front teeth. They have a rather premitive civlization compared to their dwarven neighbors.
Like many other species of the Shiverpeaks, the Dredge have been enslaved by the Stone Summit. They work in the mines of Sorrow's Furnace where their digging talents and comfort in the dark makes them superior to humans as work grunts. Some among the Dredge have surrendered to this, while others have resisted. The leader of the rebel movement trying to free the Dredge from slavery is Molachev.
Note It is unclear if they call themselves the Dredge (as in: the diggers) or are called the Dredge (as in: "found in the dredges") by the racist and arrogant Stone Summit.
