Dwarves are a a humanoid race that tend to be shorter and stockier than humans. They stand an average of 5 feet tall and weigh around 200 pounds. They are most commonly lawful and have strong family values in the form of Clans. They are one of the most populous races and use that time to become very good at what they care about. They're known to be tough and hold grudges, but are also loyal and steadfast.
Most folk in the Dwendalian Empire think of dwarves as greedy, cave-dwelling hermits with a passion only for jewelry, drinking, and fighting. Most dwarves in the empire come from the city-state of Grimgolir and its settlements under the Dunrock Mountains or Pride's Call, whose miners, jewelers, and warriors are some of the finest in the empire.
Along the Menagerie Coast, most folk see dwarves as foreigners possessed of fiery passions and an eagerness for action. Dwarves are uncommon visitors on the coast, with most coming from the distant realms of Tal’Dorei and Marquet as sailors or travelers, as pirates from the notorious Revelry, or as soldiers from the Dwendalian Empire.
Dwarves are less common in Xhorhas, and most are known as Duergar, or “deep dwarves.” Though some duergar have joined with the Kryn Dynasty and dwell on the surface, most live in the ancient tunnels of the Underdark and harbor a deep-seated enmity for the drow. Duergar are more sensitive to the sunlight than other Dwarves and have more greyish skin.
