The Dver-Zhud were perhaps the first non-humans in Ebonyr. In fact,
one school of thought, following Dver-Zhud mythology, says that the Dver-Zhud were actually here before humans. It’s true that ancient humans sources speak of
people who lived under the mountains.
If they did inhabit Ebonyr before man, they kept to themselves, for at no time do they appear to have
affected affairs on the surface.
Physical TraitsDver-Zhud have thick hair on their head, eyebrows, and face. They are generally very stocky and strong, and vary from three feet to four feet five inches tall. They have very broad features and the women have facial hair as well. Skin tones are from pale to dark brown. Hair colors are generally shades of black and brown, but occasionally shades of red and blonde as well. PersonalityOther races describe them as short tempered, loud, rude, obnoxious, stubborn, loyal, steadfast, courageous and honorable.
CultureThe Dver-Zhud believe the holiest thing they can do is devote their lives
to a craft and become a master. Thus, they spend much of their time
learning their art and an even greater time perfecting it. The family is
a highly important structure in their society and the family groups are
quite extensive, often with cousins and uncles and grandparents living
in one large "house".
