The Dwarves are one of the oldest civilizations in the world. Dwarves generally look like short, thick bodied humans. They typically live in small underground towns where they mine ores and gems and create first rate metal work and jewelry that they trade for the food they need. The Dwarves have the reputation of being distant and irritable, but physically resilient. A large proportion of their population have a level or two in the fighter class, but there are some miners and craftsmen who are not warrior trained. Most Dwarves are Lawful in alignment. The Dwarves have excellent Night Vision from living underground. Because of their unfamiliarity with arcane magic and their general hardiness, all Dwarves get +2 saves vs. Magic and vs. Poison. They also are very accustomed to dealing with underground constructions, so have the Stonework Skill, allowing them to spot pits, weird construction and stone-traps underground. There is a subspecies of Dwarves known as the Crimson Dwarves, notable in that they have bright red skin. They are culturally connected to Chaos and look down on the rest of the Dwarves, calling them “Mongrels” or “Half Dwarves”, mistakenly thinking them to be cross-breeds of some sort.
