The dwarves have always been a race whose love of gunpowder equalled the thingling's love for thier firewood. However, after the catastrophic battle of battle of deeping ridge the dwarves knew something was amiss.

You see, dwarves are a proud people, and don't take lightly to an enemy ripping through thier ranks with superior firepower. So when the pointy eared fiends had slaughtered proud king Balor Itonhelm the dwarven engineers quickly set about finding a way to counter the elven bolt throwers.

To this end, the engineers worked in tandem with the brewers guild and the high clan councils to create a brew that would sharpen the sight and quicken the senses of thier warriors armed with the traditional dwarf ranged weaponry ( thunder-spitter handguns and stoneshot crossbows.)

After months of hard toil, the work was complete, and a cadre of the finest dwarven warriors imbibed the brew before being sent out on a patrol mission with an acommpanying coucil scribe to track the effectivness.

When the patrol group returned, they brought with them the heads of a score elven scouts, and also the report of an elven encampment.

The scribe later reported that the tested warriors had been able to see the magically disguised elven tents while all he saw was a group of fir trees - later that night the elves launched a punitive attack that was turned back by the dwarven hosts who had been warned hours ahead becuase of the brews efffectivness

To this day, the dwarven warriors that go out to battle with ranged weapons in thier hands have drunk of the potent brew and have become known as the ale-eyes, feared by thier foes and lauded by thier comrades.

Edited for spelling on the background.
