APPEARANCE

Dwarfs are stocky and stout creatures that look and even at times seem like humans, however they have unnatural strength and able to see in the darkest of night for they live in the mountains and under the ground searching and pillaging of raw metals and things in the cracks of the earth. They are miners and smiths at heart in able to wield the hammers and axes with precision and skill. They are the ones who love to work with their hands and at times love to drink until they’re full of energy and life. A great way to get on the good side of a dwarf is either by its gut or with something that will be useful to them.

This race has their own advantages and disadvantages as like other races in the world. For they are proud as they are brave and patient as they are unmoving in their own ways. There isn't much they will do to start up something. As well having a single different branch of magic just as the elves have their different branch as well as the Dragons and the Fae. However not only can you learn the magic of the grammary, but there are those who are much more powerful in their magic either by practice or it being more strongly infused into their blood.

These beings look like resembling humans with short, stocky, and stout looking bodies the dwarf is most commonly used to define things that are smaller than normal humans. It is the same aspect here except these dwarves are "THE DWARF" being at the minimum of three and a half feet to being around five feet. Their beings are more resistant to the harsh heat and or coldness in which is the reason that they live in either shallow caves high in the mountains or deep below the earth.

Most male dwarves sport either a mid to long beard and with unnatural strength being able to lift things that are well more then their own weight as well as having great endurance in being able to travel a long ways without getting weary.

Bones of the dwarf race are more like the humans bone structure, but with a few differences. For instance their bones aren't so brittle and are a lot thicker so as to take the stress of them being close to the ground. However they are also smaller in size even though it still goes to account on their stature and sub species.
