Dwarf Cannons by default are standard cannons, and follow the cannon rules found in the main rule book.

Dwarf Cannons can be ‘upgraded’ with the use of runes. Because of the law of runes means that no two cannons have the same upgrades, it may be best to create some markers that you can place next to the cannons to remind yourself what upgrades you have given to which cannons.
