Myzelis    Aethrin (Standard)      Dwarf, Hill

Dwarf, Hill

Bold and hardy, dwarves are known as skilled warriors, miners, and workers of stone and metal. Though they stand well under 5 feet tall, dwarves are so broad and compact that they can weigh as much as a human standing nearly two feet taller. Their courage and endurance are also easily a match for any of the larger folk.
Dwarven skin ranges from deep brown to a paler hue tinged with red, but the most common shades are light brown or deep tan, like certain tones of earth. Their hair, worn long but in simple styles, is usually black, gray, or brown, though paler dwarves often have red hair. Male dwarves value their beards highly and groom them carefully.
Hill dwarves have keen senses, deep intuition, and remarkable resilience.

"The following communities are known to the people of Myzelis and recorded in the Journals of Eblin. Realms not listed here have no known populations of these Aethrin large enough to list as communities in their own right."

Eslaiqi Hill Dwarves

One of the Welcomed: Eslaiqeza has a large population of those who have come in from otherlands to find a new home within its borders. Coming from all over Myzelis, anyone can find a niche for themselves within the large stretches of land, the huge cities, and deep forests of Eslaiqeza.

Gylidder Hill Dwarves

Hangor Hillpeople: Within the Gylidd Syn Aethri Valley, upon the northern reach just before the settlement of Hangorfeydd lie the Hangor Hills, where the largest concentration of hill dwarves hail. They are renowned for their affinity for the arts such as music and open air theaters which offer breathtaking views of Gylidd Syn Aethri from the broad rises upon which their communities are built. Although the hill dwarves are very supportive of the metropolis to their south, they tend to pay lip service to its politics, and as a result not many living hill dwarves from this region have made a name for themselves. Instead, they try to live up to the memories of their ancestors' great deed names: Titansmasher, Vexhammer, Greattiller, and Cloudcaller, just to name a few.
