Mountain Dwarf
Mountain Dwarves spend most of their lives in the mines and halls of their ancestors, deep within the bowels of the earth. Ores, minerals and jewels take up most of their days, and they're all the happier for it. Moreso than any other race, Mountain Dwarves are in tune with the earth and anything related to it. Their cities are carved into the walls of large caverns, assimilating themselves into the natural geography as much as possible.
