Terran Dwarves
It's said that Dwarves were once actual stones that just stood up and walked straight out of the mountains of Coraphus one day thousands of years ago. They are a steadfast, reliable and hardy people, who hold fast in traditions, and worship their ancestors as readily as their Goddess, Ronst. . Known for their grand architecture and beautiful and intricate carvings, they highly value craftsmanship and view it as a measure of how advanced a society has become.
They are a major power in the southern continent. They value honesty, honor and integrity but can be overbearing and prejudiced toward others who do not share their virtues. Clerics and members of the clergy are not only religious authorities but hold sway in the government as well as acting as advisers to the Orsti, or King. While arcane magic is not necessarily viewed negatively, divine magic is certainly considered the higher calling here. Terran Dwarves reside in the mountains of alongside the majority of the True Dwarves.
Physical Traits. All types of Dwarves are usually short and stout. It is also common for Dwarves of any type or gender to wear their head and facial hair long, and adorn both with decorative jewels and braids.
Coloration. Terran Dwarves can have a wide range of skin color from marble-white to black to rusty red-brown and every shade in between, including grays. Their hair has a similar range, and they have typical dwarven green or brown eyes. Blonde haired and/or blue eyed terran dwarves are virtually nonexistent.

Starting at 5th level, you can cast the pass without trace spell with this trait, without requiring a material component. Once you cast that spell with this trait, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast it using any spell slots you have of 2nd level or higher.
