Mining Dwed

Whether or not the dwarven claim that they were carved from the world's stone is true, dwarves share many qualities considered similar to the stone they live with. Strong, hardy, and dependable, dwarves are polite, particularly to elders, and possess a wisdom beyond that of many other races. Dwarves value their traditions, regardless of the subrace they came from, and look for inspiration from ancestral heroes. Dwarves are also known for their stubborn nature and cynicism but often offset by their bravery and tenacity.   Dwarven friendship is hard to earn, but is strong once won. Naturally dour and suspicious, the stout folk are slow to trust others, specifically those outside their family, suspecting the worst of an individual until the outsider has proven their good will. Once this trust was gained, dwarves hold their friends to it and view betrayals, even minor ones, with a vicious propensity for vengeance.   Dwarves are careful and deliberate, with a more serious disposition than other races, who they sometimes viewed as flighty or reckless. A dwarf does all things with care and a stubborn resolve, with brash or cowardly behavior unusual for them. However, dwarves do succumb easily to wrath or greed, which is their most common vice.   Specifically Mining dwarves are a cynical and gruff people. While Mining dwarves have not always been so open-minded, there is a long tradition of curiosity and need to explore further.

Traditionally, family and class meant everything among the Mining dwarves and is why they use the names of their achieving parents as second names.   Family life is a prime concern for dwarves, the relationships between parent and child remain as strong as ever. Most dwarves are literate and are taught to read at an early age, before being handed off to a guild for an apprenticeship. In the workplace, Mining dwarves are taught to work for not only themselves and their family but the greater good of the city. Most Mining dwarves, while proud of their work, are fairly humble and avoided ostentatious displays of decadence. After a Mining dwarf lost his or her ability to work physically, they remain a valued part of the community for their experience and wisdom and when they died they are honoured with funeral rites appropriate to their legacy.   Mining dwarves are mostly found within Mir Buldahr but some are found in other places across the region but usually large cities where they can make and sell goods usually leatherwork or stone work.

Very rounded faces with bulbous red noses. Large rounded human like ears. Fluffy almost bushy eyebrows and often have monobrows. Beards that are heavily braided and curly are comon on men and women.

Social standing, family and success mean everything among the desert dwarves and is why they use the names of their achieving parents as second names. While their first name can come from all forms of sources and quite often passed down families in a similar way to the surname.

Mining dwarves while mostly just miners they are also fine craftsmen but, their craft tended to be more practical. They tend to opt for using tools like pics and hammers for weapons but can also use short swords when needed. Mining dwarves typically equip themselves in heavy armor fashioned from mithral, which they favoured over the adamantine of other dwarves.   They put much merit in beards and the length of them. Often derogatorally calling people without beards "the beardless" and having a disdain and lack of respect for the "none beards" of the world. They do believe the growth of the build is a sign of wisdom and skill and it increase your beards glory you need to explore and learn and grow.

Mining dwarves, while gruff, are not abrasive in personality and generally enjoy the company of others, even those not of their own kind. Most of all, Mining dwarves get along with other dwarves, though Shadow dwarves they believe to be corrupted and therefore not considered true dwarves, they therefore will attack them on site as to prevent getting corrupted themselves.   Dwarves as a whole heartily believe in each to their own and keep out of disputes amongst others that does not effect them. This is why they get on with both humans and elves having not taken a side with either during the 100 year war.
