Dwarf

Dwarves, sometimes called the Stout Folk, are a race spread throughout the world but usually only found in hilly and mountainous areas. There they carve out whole cities underneath the surface. Dwarves were a tough, tradition-abiding folk known for their strong martial traditions and beautiful craftsmanship.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Dwarves are a short race, standing from 1.3 – 1.45 meters on average. What Dwarves lack in height they make up for in bulk; they are, on average, about as heavy as humans. A dwarf can weigh anywhere from about 73 – 100 kg. Dwarven males are a bit taller and heavier than their female counterparts. Like humans, dwarves had a wide variety of skin, eye, and hair colours. The males grow beards faster and thicker then human males. They are a display of pride amongst the dwarves. Female dwarves do not grow beard but what they lack in beard growth they make up for in normal hair growth. They display this with pride in a similar fashion to the males’ beards.

Growth Rate & Stages

Dwarves are a long-lived race and reach physical maturity somewhat later than humans. A dwarf is traditionally considered an adult once they reach an age of fifty. Dwarves age much like humans but over a longer period of time, remaining vigorous well past 150 years. Most dwarves live to see their bicentennial and a few lived to be over 400.
