Appearance: The Ironstone Dwarves are stout and muscular, with rugged, weathered features that reflect their years of labor in the depths of the mountains. Their skin often has a stone-like hue, ranging from deep grey to earthy brown, and their eyes glow faintly with the light of molten forges. Thick beards, often braided and adorned with metallic trinkets, are a symbol of status and pride among them.
Lore/Backstory:
Deep beneath the jagged peaks of the Ironstone Mountains, the dwarves carved their kingdoms from unyielding rock and veins of precious ore. Known for their unmatched craftsmanship, they built mechanical marvels powered by ancient runes and molten magma. The Ironstone Dwarves have long defended their halls against invaders, from marauding orcs to subterranean horrors. Guided by their ancestral spirits and the wisdom of the Forgefather, they now step out of their halls to reclaim lost relics and expand their influence in the overworld.
Abilities/Strengths:
Sturdy Warriors: Naturally resistant to damage, with higher base health and armor.
Rune Magic: Mastery over rune-based spells that can bolster allies, fortify defenses, or cripple foes.
Mechanical Expertise: Can construct unique mechanical units, such as Steam Tanks and War Golems.
Resource Masters: Gain additional resources from mining and unique upgrades that enhance gold and stone collection.
Playstyle:
The Ironstone Dwarves excel in a defensive playstyle, relying on heavily fortified bases and resilient units. However, their mechanical creations and rune magics allow for strategic offensive pushes, particularly in late-game scenarios. Players must carefully manage resources to unleash the full potential of their advanced technology.
Cultural Traits:
Ironstone society revolves around their forges, where each dwarf dedicates themselves to perfecting their craft. Their faith is rooted in the Forgefather, a deity of creation and endurance, and their lore is passed down through engraved runestones. Feasts, drinking, and tales of valor are central to their culture, and they have an unshakable sense of honor and loyalty.
Inspirations:
The Ironstone Dwarves are inspired by classic Norse mythology and steampunk aesthetics, blending ancient traditions with mechanical innovation.

So, I noticed how there were still no air elementals in WcReforged, but the enraged elemental did have a whirlwind. So I decided to change its animated texture to another one (used the waterfall for this) and, since I disliked the purple colour, I did a small recolour of the texture to make it...
