Culture and Cultural Heritage
Dwarves are often stubborn, strict, fast on anger, and hostile towards other races. If you earn their trust though, they can be the most loyal and worthy friend. They tend to honor the traditions of their homeland and praise their folk over others. They can become very greedy due to a natural affection they share with material objects and minerals. They are often proud and brave. In other societies they hold their own and tend to mingle with other dwarves if possible.
History
"The sixth race were the Dwarves. The Sentinel used a piece of rock and a generous flame, because it wanted this race to be stable and courageous, strong against fear and the passing of time. It also gave them productivity and art. Within them, it put the minerals and ores of the earth, so that they can be resilient and strong. The weight of the metal deformed them and pulled them close to the ground, making them slow and lower than the other races, but more stable and unmovable from the outer forces of the world."
