Dwarf Species in Mendala | World Anvil

Dwarf

Dwarves make up 10% of the population and are the least physically diverse. Dwarves also have the least adimus diversity.  

Physical Characteristics

All dwarves are between 1.45 to 1.50 meters tall with fair skin, dark hair, and dark eyes. They tend to physically age the same as humans until around age 25, depending on adimus rank, and then their physical aging becomes more pronounced. Dwarves tend to have long, thick, curly hair with male dwarves gaining thick facial hair starting around age 20.   Dwarves have far higher physical strength, resilience, and stamina than other races. Because of their natural physical prowess, dwarves tend to have more stocky or toned body types, but it still varies across the race. Despite having lower adimus immune systems, their physical resilience helps them guard against illness and disease.   Unlike humans, dwarves cannot use their adimus to change their hair and eye color or control reproduction. Dwarves naturally produce more males than any other race.  

Adimus Capabilities

Dwarves produce a higher percentage of channelers than any other race. Where the average across the entire population is 25%, it’s closer to 75% for dwarves. They have the highest aptitude for channeler mentus, allowing them to embed powerful mentus into the tiniest granules of quartz. This means that dwarf craftsmen are able to produce far higher quality mentus-based crafts than most elves and humans. It is also far less likely for a dwarf to become a non.   Dwarves have slightly higher adimus energy pools than humans but a less active adimus immune system. This is counterbalanced by their physical stamina and resilience. Dwarves do not produce environs, summoners, quickeners, sensants, or any rare adimus classes.
