Stone 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.
The most predominant of all dwarves, the stone dwarves are known to be natural artisans and beings blessed with a supernatural affinity with the earth. Even the frailest of stone dwarves can wear the heaviest of loads and sense the quietest of people, provided that the earth is involved in the process.
Stone dwarf skin tends to range from deep brown to a paler hue tinged with red, and their hair color tends to be black or brown. 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.
