Description:
Bold and hardy, dwarves are known as skilled warriors, miners, and workers of stone and metal. 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. Their courage and endurance are also easily a match for any of the larger folk.
Possessing the elemental blood of Gnomes affects their appearance. Their skin reflects the tones of earth and stone in the lands they reside in, ranging from grey like stone to sandy yellow and earthy brown. The hair is metallic , golden, silver, or bronze, depending on the metal ore found in the earth nearby, and their eyes have the color of gems.
