Magma Dwarf
Kingdoms rich in ancient grandeur, halls carved into the roots of mountains, the echoing of picks and hammers in deep mines and blazing forges, a commitment to clan and tradition, and an intense urge to make a name for themselves-these common threads unite all dwarves.
Magma dwarves are few and far between, with most of them living alongside azers, which often means living in the Elemental Plane of Fire. Despite this, there are some who are born and raised in Agathok. Magma dwarves are distinguishable from their warm bodies and bright eyes, which naturally glow a dim orange. Their hair appears like roaring fire, and they can hold grudges as deep as their azer neighbours can.
Magma dwarf skin tends to range from dark and ash grey to a more brown hues tinged with red, and their hair color tends to be bright red or orange. Much like all other dwarves, hair is precious to them and is typically worn long but in sumple styles. Male dwarves value their beards especially highly and groom them carefully.

Dwarf Reputation & Clans
Gnome Reputation
Many gnomes like the feeling of a roof over their head, even if that “roof” is nothing more than a hat or umbrella. They have a reputation for living frugal lives with impassioned hobbies, prioritizing their curiosity and enjoyment above most other things. As far as gnomes are concerned, being alive is a wonderful thing, and so they constantly strive to squeeze every ounce of enjoyment out of their often three to five centuries of life.
For a gnome, enjoyment is life itself for them. It’s not that they ignore or don’t feel emotions like sadness or nervousness, but to them both mentally and physically, strong negative emotions like depression can and will often kill them. To a gnome, death is not something that should be met with misery but rather, with longing. Gnome funerals are typically cheerier than other species, and gnomes often rejoice when a friend passes away doing what they loved doing.
