Stone Dwarf

Stone Dwarves are short and stout, and make excellent craftsmen. Their societies often reside around mountainous regions, becoming miners and similar mountain-workers.

Physical Description

Stone Dwarves stand at around 4'5'' and possess strong physiques despite their short stature. Their hair color ranges from light brown to black to ivory, and their eyes are often brown, blue, or a dull yellow color. The males almost always have full beards, and women have stunning hair of varying lengths. Both males and females attempt to distinguish themselves through decoration of their hair (and facial hair in the case of males).

Personality

Stone Dwarves are traditionalists, family-oriented, and have a love for their sports. Wrestling is especially common among Stone Dwarves, using elaborate set-ups and long titles which they add more to with each wrestling match they win in a row. Otherwise they have a passion for crafting; making excellent quality tools, weapons, and armor. Stone Dwarves are prideful of their work, and take criticism - even constructive criticism - as harsh critiques which often force them to return to work crafting until they can create something in which they don't get criticized for. This desire for perfection leads to unhealthy bouts of secluding themselves for weeks on end, lost in work.

Barunz Dwarf

Also known as Bronze Dwarves, these nomads and merchants are from the Middle East - possessing less hair and are capable of withstanding the harsh conditions of the desert sands.

Physical Description

Named in part due to their bronze skin, Barunz Dwarves possess red to reddish brown hair and bright golden eyes. Their stature is similar to that of the Stone Dwarf reaching around 4'8'' in height and possessing luscious beards and hair (though notably less body hair overall). In contrast however the Barunz Dwarves opt not to decorate their hair, even shunning cutting or trimming unless absolutely necessary.

Personality

Barunz Dwarves are strong-willed figures who are calculative, preferring to spend time in contemplation rather than acting rashly. Some of the more wealth-oriented Barunz Dwarves become merchants while others devote themselves to Allah and the crusade against the demons spawning in and infesting the Middle East.

Halfling

Halflings are the shorter and much more business oriented Dwarves. They prefer not to wear their beards long, and are less bulky than others.

Physical Description

Halflings are among the shortest of the Dwarves standing at around 3'8'', unlike others they do not always grow full beards and aren't nearly as bulky as other Dwarves. In addition to their short statures, Halflings often have lighter complexions to contrast with their darker hair and eye colors. Blonde halflings are an oddity, and referred to as "Blondies" or "Gold-Tops".

Personality

Standing out from other Dwarves, Halflings are very outgoing individuals who like to make relations with others as often as they can. Although very social, not all Halflings enjoy the company of others and prefer to shut themselves out of the world for extended periods. Regardless, others rarely care about the presence of Halflings, regarding them with mild interest unless they do something to intentionally draw attention.

Mivrborne

Named for mithral in Dwarven (Mivral), Mivrborne are from mithral-rich environments, magically enhanced like the mithral to be quicker.

Physical Description

At average height for a Dwarf (4'8'' or so) the Mivrborne are distinct due to their silvery-black skin tone, and imposing glare. Though not actually fused with mithral, the Mivrborne appear as if they've been coated in a sheen of mithral. This has created the rumor of Mivrborne sprouting from the ground fully grown, created by Dwarf artisans looking to create artificial life.

Personality

Serious and aggressive, Mivrborne are unpleasant due to their gruffness and their repressive nature prompting them to hide their true feelings from others in favor of their "stone cold" attitude. For those they open up to, Mivrborne are possessive of them and regard them highly. Betrayal of their trust is enough to get entire clans to wage war on a single individual.

Gancanagh

Small and imp-like fae beings, the Gancanagh are similar to Lepprechauns in terms of their appearance but instead use their looks to seduce women. They commonly worship Bríg.

Physical Description

Unusual among Dwarves, Gancanagh are more similar to Halflings in their body proportions albeit with less prominent hair and more flowy and smooth hair. Gancanagh possess wide ranges of hair colors such as blonde, brown, black, and red. Meanwhile their eyes are typically either blue, green, or a slight violet color.

Personality

Gancanagh are selfish, lustful beings whose libido is difficult to satisfy and their nature causing others to become jealous or angry at them. This is often due to the Gancanagh seducing married men or women for their own satisfaction, which sometimes leads to them being caught by the spouse. Outside of their lust, Gancanagh are pleasant and like company, trying to make friends whenever they can...at least, friends in the moment, so long as they don't have their eyes on the other's partner if any.

Obsidious Dwarves are short, stout, and are commonly found in the dark lands of the Under.

Physical Description

Obsidious have coal black to ashen gray skin, snow white hair, and white eyes. They stand around 4'7'' on average and have obsidian-like teeth in their coloration and sheen.

Personality

Anti-social traditionalists, Obsidious resemble most of their Dwarven brethren in terms of their attitude with the stark contrast being their more closed-mindedness and disdain for societal structure and orderliness. Unlike other Dwarves, the Obsidious care little for the blood ties of family, only caring about those who care about them, and thus viewing their 'family' as a matter of choice just like their friends - if they have any.

Urkask is an old Dwarven word for insanity or to be driven mad, and now is commonly associated with the Urkask Dwarves, a long dead kingdom which fell to ruin, and its people's minds twisted so far that their insanity passes down to all of their kin.

Physical Description

Urkask Dwarves have light to tan skin tones, thin and wispy brown or black hair, and shorter beards than most Dwarves. All Urkask Dwarves have emerald green eyes, a feature which other Dwarves are taught means one of they are one of the "mad ones".
