====== '''Mountain Dwarf''' ====== | ====== '''Mountain Dwarf''' ====== | ||
The most plentiful dwarven lines are mountain dwarves, and there are few mountain ranges in the world where you cannot find at least one outpost. With skin colors ranging from brown to pale, most of these dwarves, regardless of gender, grow thick and bushy beards looped with trinkets of precious metals. In most mountain dwarf societies, you can tell a dwarf’s status by the length of their beards and the sheer number of gold and platinum adornments therein. | The most plentiful dwarven lines are mountain dwarves, and there are few mountain ranges in the world where you cannot find at least one outpost.

====== '''Crag Dwarf''' ====== | ====== '''Crag Dwarf''' ====== | ||
Generally taller and comparatively lankier than other dwarven sublineages, the crag dwarves are well known for their massive canyon cities built within miles-deep crevices carved by time and dwarven hands. Here great waterfalls spin massive turbines that send elevator lifts hurtling upward and downward between hundreds of stone bridges that crisscross every possible level and gap. Crag dwarves dig their settlements by quarrying the dirt and stone in long layers parallel to streams and rivers, often uncovering long-buried ruins from ages past. They then rebuild such ruins, reinforcing previous fortifications and repurposing structures as they see fit. The crag dwarves are the most surface-adapted dwarves and often extend their territory into nearby forests and plains where farmlands or hunted game can supplement their stone and clay crafts. | Generally taller and comparatively lankier than other dwarven sublineages, the crag dwarves are well known for their massive canyon cities built within miles-deep crevices carved by time and dwarven hands.

====== '''Deep Dwarf''' ====== | ====== '''Deep Dwarf''' ====== | ||
The deep dwarves are the rarest of dwarves and the least likely to be seen on the surface world. As denizens of the deepest caves, deep dwarves stand apart from their cousins by their pale skin, large eyes, and beardless faces. Their cities often contain tightly packed and protected districts hidden behind layers of trapped corridors and hidden passageways. Few outsiders ever have the opportunity to travel their tunnels. | The deep dwarves are the rarest of dwarves and the least likely to be seen on the surface world.
