Dwarves are known for their skill in warfare, their ability to withstand physical and magical punishment, their hard work and their capacity for drinking ale. Dwarves are slow to jest and suspicious of strangers, but they are generous to those who earn their trust. They stand just 4 to 4 1/2 feet tall, but are broad and compactly built, almost as wide as they are tall. Dwarven skin varies from deep tan to light brown, and dwarven hair is black, gray or brown. Dwarven men value their beards highly.
Most Dwarves on Arkaz originate from the Isle of Iron. Like many other races, Dwarves from outside of the chain of Arkaz sometimes find their way to Arkaz through accident or shipwreck.
