This race is famous for its expansive underground kingdoms and their beautiful stonemasonry. In addition, they are extremely proficient warfighters – preferring large war hammers and heavy armor. This makes them an especially deadly foe. However, their most common and hated foe is neither elf nor man, but orcs and goblins alike. This is because they often fight for common territory as the dwarves delve deeper and deeper into the mountain face.

    Dwarves also prefer the company of their own kind, but if a dwarf is not found humans are preferable to elves any day. At least in the mind of a dwarf. Their stoic nature makes them immovable as the mountain they live under and as stubborn. Dwarves are also fond of order. As such there is a higher order of how life is conducted in dwarven society. Dwarves are broken into clans, there are six in total, and they are even more loyal to their clan than even their spouse. The clan’s name belongs to the clan and can be revoked for acts deemed unworthy by the clan. A clanless dwarf is often ostracized by their clan and is disallowed back into their communities lest those who come in contact also become ostracized as well. These dwarves often create settlements on the outskirts of the area they once called home. Many take up adventuring more readily to ease the burden of their misfortune.

    Lastly, dwarves are also long lived. It is known for many to live for several centuries. It isn’t uncommon for elders and patriarchs to live well to 600 years old.

In addition, because of their long lives, they master many forms of weapons, including the rapier, longsword, longbow, and short bow. Warfare isn’t the only thing they excel at, however, they are famous for crafting artifacts and are superb craftsmen. They are sought after by many wealthy nobles to train their children.

    Marvelous craftsmen and superb warfighters, they are known to admire the simplest of things. Elves are very good at finding beauty in most things and love being among nature and the elements. For that reason, you find many of them as rangers fighting against the bands of monsters that seek to destroy the forests they love. Because some prefer the solitude the forests offer there is still a smaller number who seek to become nature’s protectors and eek out their existence as powerful druids.        Elves are by far the longest-lived beings on the planet, living 700 – 1000 years. Because of this, they don’t reproduce as fast or often as other species, such as humans or halflings. And most are considered children until their 100th birthday.

Though ambitious, most seek a peaceful life within the confines of cities, villages, and farming communities.

Humans often welcome nonhuman races to live and work in their communities. In addition, they do not have issues living in nonhuman lands as well.                                                                                        Humans are greatly varied.
