Dwarven Parentage

Though they stand well under 5 feet tall, dwarves are so broad and compact that they can weigh as much as a human standing nearly two feet taller.
Dwarven skin ranges from black to a paler hue tinged with red, but the most common shades are light brown or deep tan earthen tones. Their hair is usually black, gray, or brown, though paler dwarves often have red hair. Dwarven beards grow fuller, thicker, and faster than those of humans.
Dwarves can live to be more than 400 years old, so the oldest living dwarves often remember a very different world. This longevity grants them a perspective on the world that shorter-lived peoples such as humans and halflings lack.
Dwarves come in three physiologically distinct types: hill, mountain, and gray. All adapted to life underground, but at different depths. Hill dwarves adapted closest to the surface, mountain dwarves a little deeper, and gray dwarves adapted to a life totally bereft of sunshine. Of course, whatever your dwarven parentage, you are free to live wherever you feel most at home.
