Well the first one is this one:

Most of the English is good actually (although i am sure some of my teachers might disagree ) It's more the "Dwarves' underground" you mention

For example, "I need the maps of Dwarves' undergrounds." Well it just lacks a The infront of Dwarves and it's good.. although i was very close to posting a deeper explanation with several different versions which i think would be better (Damn you university education !)

And then there is the second choice:
"Well informed people told me you have dwarves' maps"
and that one isn't right either, and i am somewhat certain that you can't say "dwarves' " in this case it's because it pretty much says he's got all of the dwarven nation or nations maps or some specific group of dwarves maps, but as far as i know it's an unknown group of dwarfs maps he is looking for..
So in this case it would be better to say:
"Well informed people told me you have dwarven maps"

Oh dear.. I actually went ahead and did some grammar stuff.. sorry about that

Otherwise i recall something with a screenshot showing how you leveled up and the level up screen saying something not quite right either.

Hope this helps.
According to my knowledge, both variants are correct But anyway thanks for information.
