Ember Dwarf

The ember dwarves fill varying roles in different worlds. In most worlds, they are a race of dwarves that were taken from their homes by efreeti after the azer and efreeti stopped their cooperation, in an effort to recreate the azer as loyal servants. In other worlds, ember dwarves are born to normal dwarf parents when latent elemental or fiendish bloodlines activate in the child There are even worlds where some dwarven clans have grown accustomed to a volcanic home by ancient elemental magic, thus turning themselves into ember dwarves over time.

They have dark, ashen skin, with fiery red or orange hair.
