Races
Dwarf
Mountain stock — short, stubborn, excellent smiths. Starts in Kaladim.
Dwarf starts in Kaladim and comes out of Butcherblock Mountains with a clear identity. Their primary deity tradition is Brell Serilis, Bristlebane. Canon ties them hardest to Warrior, Cleric, Paladin, Rogue, and Berserker. On The Last Camp, the race keeps that flavor while the class wall comes down.
On The Last Camp
The Last Camp runs the any-race-class doctrine. A Dwarf can roll the full table: War, Cle, Pal, Rng, SK, Dru, Mnk, Brd, Rog, Shm, Nec, Wiz, Mag, Enc, Bst, Ber. The old lockouts mattered on Live; here they are character flavor, not a character creation prison. For this race, the newly rollable set is Ranger, Shadow Knight, Druid, Monk, Bard, Shaman, Necromancer, Wizard, Magician, Enchanter, and Beastlord.
Faction still bites. Dwarf characters start in good standing with Kaladim, Felwithe, Kelethin, and good Faydwer merchants. They start hostile or functionally unwelcome around Neriak, Oggok, Grobb, and Cabilis. Any-race-class does not launder your face; an enemy race at the wrong gate is still an enemy race.
Plane of Knowledge access changes the long game. At level 1, a Dwarf reaches PoK through Butcherblock to docks or across Greater Faydark toward the Faydwer stone route. PoK handles travel; Kaladim remains the smithy and Origin anchor
Leveling path

AAs after 65
The level cap is 65. After that, advancement moves into Alternate Advancement: class-defining passives, defensive buttons, pet power, crit lines, and travel tools. Pick AAs by job, not vanity; a race choice gives flavor, but AA spend makes the finished character. Start with Warrior AA, Cleric AA, Paladin AA, Rogue AA.
