Dwarves

A hearty people, tough as the stone they carve with the strength to move the mountains themselves. Moradin's children the Dwarves and their resilience are said to come from the very rock they etch their history into. Stubborn and unmoving, in most cases, you are likely to see a mountain reduced to sand before you convince a dwarf that they are wrong.

Physical Description

Dwarves are known for their hardy, short, and muscular bodies, which is said to have been drawn from the earth itself. While most Dwarves stand under five feet in height, they are broad and muscular, making their weight generally on par with most humans. While in different areas, you may encounter a fair-skinned dwarf. Their skin tones typically take on more of a tan or earthen tone ranging from a deep brown to light brown with minor hues of red. Dwarven hair generally falls on the darker colors such as black, grey, and brown; however, red-haired dwarves are seen throughout the world.
