Rurok

Mountain Dwarves live in all of the major mountain ranges. They prefer the high peaks that offer safety and seclusion, so there are concentrations of highland Dwarves in the Ka’Asa, P’Rorul, Elenon and Deshada ranges. They favor worship of the Holy Mother, the Eternal Lantern, the Night Watchman, and the Mule. Regardless of whom they worship, their reverence is deep, but their commitment to organized Religion and ceremony is weak. They do not often become clerics of faiths that require major signs of dedication, like maiming.

For alternate mountain dwarf statistics, add another +1d6 inches to height and another 10 pounds to weight. You may also consider replacing the Stand Your Ground ability with the Furious Smash warlord exploit (see the Player’s Handbook) as an encounter power.
