Basic Information

Anatomy

Dwarves are a short race, as their name implies, standing from 4'3" - 4'9" on average. What dwarves lack in height they make up for in bulk; they are, on average, about as heavy as humans. A dwarf can weigh anywhere from about 160 - 220 lbs. Dwarven males are a bit taller and heavier than their female counterparts. Like humans, dwarves have a wide variety of skin, eye, and hair colors. Hazel eyes are common throughout the race, with blue eyes and brown or green eyes found amongst some.

Geographic Origin and Distribution

Unlike any of the other races within Orburn, the Dwarfs are the only ones that rarely ever mingle with other races. Their culture is never mixed with others and it is very rare to see a dwarf among outside of their mountain. It is even rarer to see a non dwarf in the dwarven lands. Only the ones they deem worthy of the stone do they allow to step foot in their mountain without being attacked on sight.
