Physical Description: Dwarves are a short, stocky race of demi-humans easily identified by their size and shape. They stand at an average of 4 to 4.5 feet tall, and have ruddy cheeks, dark eyes, and dark hair. Nearly all dwarves, both male and female, have beards. A dwarf's beard is their pride and joy. To shave a dwarf's beard is a sign of shame.

Attitude: Dwarves tend to be obstinate, stubborn, and suspicious. They care little for humor, but are brave, strong, and hard-working. Dwarven courage and tenacity has been the stuff of legends. This race is renowned for its talent in fighting, warcraft, and phenomenal feats of engineering.

Whereabouts: Many dwarves of the Empire hail from Kharinam, a stronghold built deep within the northwestern mountains of the continent of Cretacia. A few are from a stronghold within the arctic tundra near the village of Nahl. Deep dwarves, or duergar, reside deep below the ground in the un- derground caverns known as the Underdark, calling their home Delve'harrow. A few number of dwarves reside on the eastern slopes of the Raditisch mountain chain of Thyatia.

Racial Abilities: Dwarves recover from gashes and bruises quicker than other races and their ability for faster natural healing allows them to survive more wounds than other races would. Their shorter legs mean they move slower, however, they are almost never out of breath.
