Dwarfs

Dwarves were a short race, as their name implied, standing from 4'3"–4'9 on average, with Kaldorian dwarves a bit shorter. What dwarves lacked in height they made up for in bulk; they were, on average, about as heavy as humans. A dwarf could weigh anywhere from about 160–220 lbs. Dwarven males were a bit taller and heavier than their female counterparts.Like humans, dwarves had a wide variety of skin, eye, and hair colors, typically pale among Andrimian dwarves and deeply tanned or brown amongst Kaldorian dwarves. Hazel eyes were common throughout the race, with blue eyes more common amongst Andrimian dwarves and brown or green eyes found amongst the Kaldorian dwarves.  Male dwarves were often bald and grew thick facial hair, which was sometimes used to display social status. Unusually for humanoids, both sexes naturally grew ample facial hair, though the majority of Andrimian dwarf females shaved their beards off. This hair was often dark in hue, though among Andrimian dwarves blond or red hair was just as common. Kaldorian dwarves took the care of facial hair to an extreme, carefully oiling and grooming it, with some adding perfume and ornamentations.   Dwarves were a long-lived race, though not so much as elves, and reached physical maturity somewhat later than humans. A dwarf was traditionally considered an adult once he or she reached age fifty. Dwarves aged much like humans but over a longer period of time, remaining vigorous well past 150 years. Most dwarves lived to see their bicentennial and a few lived to be over 400. A dwarf was considered to be young until they reached the age of 50.
