Description:
Dwarves are known for their skill in warfare, their ability to withstand physical and magical punishment, their hard work, and their capacity for drinking ale. Dwarves are slow to jest and suspicious of strangers, but they are generous to those who earn their trust. They stand just 4 to 4 1/2 feet tall, but are broad and compactly built, almost as wide as they are tall. Dwarven skin varies from deep tan to light brown, and their hair is black, gray, or brown. Dwarven men value their beards highly.
Notes:
Often stereotyped as gruff heavy-drinkers with a general barely-contained hatred of goblins and elves.  The stereotypical "dwarven accent" is identical to Earth's Scottish accents. See LoT subraces for the different Dwarven races on Talan'ith.
