Mountain Dwarves
The dwarves who live in the Red Mountains, which is almost all of them, are known as Mountain Dwarves. They are short and stocky, and their skin has a thick and stony texture while their hair is silky and smooth. They can see just fine in the dark, and have a nose for minerals and metals. It is said they can feel the state of the dirt beneath their feet, and tell if they're standing on precious metals.
