All Dwarves live underground, whether they live in hills or at the foot of a mountain, or delve deep into the tallest mountains. These "Hill Dwarves" and "Mountain Dwarves" although indistinguishable at face value; each hold their customs and traditions as independent - gods help you if you call a Hill Dwarf a Mountain Dwarf and vice-versa.
