Dwarves ("dwur" or "dwurfolk" to the Flan) are a stout, sturdy folk of the mountains. The second-most commonly seen of the demihuman races, Dwarves are about four feet tall, broad shouldered, and muscular, with tan, grey, or reddish brown skin and brown or black eyes. They are considered by most to be the salt of the earth and the keepers of the realms below the surface, where they prefer to live in vast caverns or tunnel systems and mine precious metals and gems.
