Dwarf

Dwarves are a sentient, bipedal species native to the north-central and northeastern mountains of Vygos's continent. They are short, stout and physically strong. Though they can be found anywhere in the civilized world, the vast majority live in one of the many underground settlements that constitue Thekstehr.

Dwarves are known for their tenacity and ingenuity. They gathered together and formed large-scale societies centuries before any other sentient species on Vygos.

Dwarves have pale skin and thick, wiry hair. Their eyes have exaggerated pupils and they often find direct sunlight uncomfortable. Both men and women can grow facial hair, but men in particular sport long beards that they groom and ornament to serve as badges or insignia. As dwarves can live over 400 years, this sort of long-term symbol is common.

Many dwarves worship Moradin, their patron diety. Traditional dwarven society places considerable value on family and lineage. A dwarf's clan and geneology affects much about their status and life in Thekstehr, but many eschew this rigid system and live in humanity's great city-states and other areas.
