Race

Dwarves are a short, stout, and sturdy people, that are responsible for the most talented craftsmen in the world. They usually live in the mountains, but there is a subspecies of dwarves that lives in the Badlands. The dwarves are perfectly adapted to living in their mountainous environment at high altitudes; even higher than orcs would dare to go. (It is theorized that this is because orcs used to eat dwarves before they got a common language). Their advantage over their competitors was a specially designed star shaped heart that funneled oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream more efficiently. Unfortunately, this led to them having even shorter lifespans than humans because their hearts are more susceptible to cardiovascular disease. Because of this, dwarves have a very deeply ingrained desire to create something that will outlive them. This can either be in the form of art, architecture, armor crafting, or weapon smithing. Dwarves also have a very hedonist mindset. They eat a lot, drink a lot, and make love a lot. They also don’t really have a concept of marriage. At best, they cohabitate with their lovers. Dwarves are also one of the few races that have successfully managed to breed and domesticate dragons (with the help of the Ignited Men); using the fearsome Nuckelavee as a beast of burden and pet. Dwarves were known for being great cartographers because of their propensity for mapping out the cave systems and mines of their homeland; with the domestication of dragons under the belt, their skill is unrivaled, being able to map out areas from a bird’s eye view. Due to their close proximity, there is a lot of cultural and literal mixing between orcs and dwarves.
