Dwarf

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.
Dwarves can live to be more than 400 years old, so the oldest living dwarves often remember a very different world. This longevity grants them a perspective on the world that shorter-lived races such as humans and halflings lack.
Individual dwarves are determined and loyal, true to their word and decisive in action, sometimes to the point of stubbornness. Many dwarves have a strong sense of justice, and they are slow to forget wrongs they have suffered.

Geographic Origin and Distribution

In Kalin

Originally isolationist within their Dwarven holds as part of the Dwarven Confederacy, the Dwarves were pushed above ground as part of The Return at the end of the Second Age. Most now live in the lands of the Dwaav-Torva'Dro Abbanshi, or in Jarak but Dwarves found outside those places aren't an uncommon sight.

In Efaanu

Most Dwarves in Efaanu were/are part of one of the two realms. The former realm of An-éadóchas, or the current realm of Duhag Loran. While An-éadóchas is long dead, the Dwarves of Duhag Loran mostly stick to their mountain home as they face discrimination in the mainland due to their resistance to The Realm.

In Wahar

It is not currently thought that Dwarves have a significant population in the western continent beyond traders and travelers, but it is hard to be sure.

In Archin

It is not currently thought that Dwarves have a significant population in the eastern continent beyond traders and travelers, but it is hard to be sure.
