Dwarves

General Information

Insert some intro text here. At this point, I'm just going to include game statistics for "known" races. I'll refine stuff and make it pretty later.

Hill Dwarves

General Information

These are the common dwarves who regularly deal with humans. Hill dwarves tend to live in smaller communities, rather than mountain fortresses. Hill dwarves travel more than mountain dwarves, sometimes making use of both horses and rafts, and even sometimes learning how to swim.

Mountain Dwarves

General Information

These dwarves are the master smiths who craft fabulous weapons and jewelry as well as the incredible architects who fashion massive underground complexes and even cities. Mountain dwarves have far less dealings with non-dwarves, usually trading with hill dwarves or gnomes for items that they need. They do not get along well with elves and are usually cautious around humans. Mountain dwarves tend to be more reserved, honor-conscious, gruffy, huffy, aggressive and generally enjoy wasting orcs, goblins, drow, etc, more.
