Dwarves are a race of short human-like beings with very long lifespans.

Description

Dwarves are short, bearded people that are usually quite muscular and often regarded as stoic and sturdy. While most dwarves normally stand about 4 feet tall, Tall Dwarves stand at about 5 feet, making them almost as tall as elves. Male and female dwarves usually have large amounts of facial hair. They seem to have pale to lightly tan skin, while Dvergr Dvergr dwarves have cracks in their skin due to their rocky nature.

Dwarven Culture

Dwarves are known for their ale and buildings made of stone, with foundations deep into the earth. As such, Dwarves tend to hate Kobolds, who eat the rocks and gems that the Dwarves cherish so much. Dwarves also seem to have a good standing with the Elves as they agreed to a treaty that prohibits the killing of the two races, called the Ironstone Accords. They have also been seen assisting the Elves with their mining operations such as The Silverflats, which is used as a refueling station under the command of the Gandolin Elder Family, a family that consist of Dwelves. Despite this, the Dwarves appear to have a hatred of the Dwelves, who are not protected by the Ironstone Accords, and are seen murdering them which causes problems for the Gandolin Family.

Dwarven People

Dvergr Dvergr

Dvergr Dvergr dwarves are those who still have some remnants of their rocky origins within them, and have skeletons made of stone. They can shift between their fleshy form and a pure stone form at will. In Dvergr Dvergr society it is shunned upon to cut any hair on your body, so their beards grow long and thick, and some Dvergr Dvergrs are mistaken for wild bears. Many Dvergr Dvergrs suffer from a speech impediment that causes them to repeat the final word in each sentence, but some have overcome this stutter and moved to live with other dwarves, abandoning their old lifestyle and cutting their hair, becoming 'Urb Dvergrs'. Due to their stone skeleton, Dvergr Dvergrs cannot be converted to Ageless.

Hill Dwarf

Dwarves from the hills are of average height, and are the 'usual' dwarf. They live in stone cities, and drink their dwarven ale.

Tall Dwarf

Some Dwarves are taller than the others, but still mix with the Hill Dwarves rather than the tall Elves.

Birth of the Dwarves

Long ago after the Birth of Magic, the Divine Child of Dragon Aspect Ouro'ras, Thor molded the Dwarves in his likeness from the stone on the mountain sides, as he appeared as an Elf but was shorter with a beard. Thor enjoyed partying with his new race, but after a while the Dwarves got annoyed with Thor's constant rough-housing and devised a plan to dispose of Thor. The plan came to fruition and the Dwarves betrayed Thor, trapping him in a prison of stone.

Trivia

  • One of the Elves' subraces, the Dwelf, can be considered a Dwarven subrace due to being half-Dwarf.
    • However, considering that they are specifically categorized as a subrace of Elves, Dwelfs might have more Elven traits than Dwarven traits.
    • It should be noted that Dwelfs are not well liked among Dwarves, and often face discrimination and abuse from Dwarves. Most Dwelfs appear to associate themselves more with Elves than with Dwarves.
  • Coestar has chosen the Dwarven race the most out of the UR Crew. He has chosen Dwarf a total of 7 times (Excluding the Nuren Campaign).
