Dwarves
Matriarchal in nature, the Dwarves have been ruled by a Thrummaz (a Queen) for generations, completely separate from the humans politicking above.
Their primary Mountain Home is called Nerroth Wunder, or Deep Lake. It is in the southern-most mountain on the continent, and stretches miles into the earth. They have several smaller mountain homes in other mountains, but none like this.
All dwarves, both male (Dworrow) and female (Dwarrowdam), have beards. Some females shave, but they tend to be the ones that interact with humans. The rest wear their beards as badges of racial honor and pride, earning beads and braids as they pass through important milestones in their lives. These can be put into hair as well, as the beard runs out of room or for those who do not have one.
Dwarves will almost never cut their hair, wearing it up in braids and buns and plaits when it gets too long to walk.
