Dwarves
Dwarves
Dwarves live in the north of the continent of Borea, in the Twilight Lands. The sun never shines there. They sky is lit by the glow of the sun over the horizon or the Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights. The temperature is below freezing and the land is covered with ice and snow. To the north lie the Scablands and the Mountains of Madness, the road to Hel, where the undead dwell.
There are two races of Dwarves: Svirfneblin and Uldra. Svirfneblin live below ground, mostly within the Mountains of the Moon. They are miners and metalworkers. The Uldra live on the frozen ice of the Dead Sea. They live by hunting the seals and walruses which live below the ice. Relations between the subraces are closer then relations between clans of the subraces as the clans compete with each other for territory.
It is a very harsh world and the Dwarves are superbly adapted to it. There are basic traits common to all Dwarves, then there are common mutations individual Dwarves may have. Note: appearance penalties for traits of all dwarves do not apply to other dwarves. Instead, lack of those traits causes the same penalty in appearance when seen by dwarves. Appearance –5 total.
