Squat and often bearded, [[Dwarves]] are among the most populous of races found across [[Cruseryx]], often falling into the tropes of travelling merchant or stubborn mountain dweller.

=== Cultures ===
[[Mountain Dwarves]] are a strong and hardy stock who have carved out the very earth to create their mighty kingdoms. Mostly focused in the [[Kingdom of Ebonmount|Ebonmount]] ranges, they bridge the [[Mundane World]] and [[Underdark]] with tall cities reaching from the highest points of their [[Mountains|Mountain]] homes, to the deepest depths of the world below.

[[Hill Dwarves]] are known for their keen senses, strong intuition and their knack for finding a good deal. They have mostly moved out from their ancestral mountains and have integrated more with the wider world. These are the folks you will more often find in the large towns and cities throughout [[Cruseryx]].

[[Deep Dwarves]], sometimes referred to as [[Deep Dwarves|Duegar]], are the grey-skinned and grouchy flavour of [[Dwarves|Dwarf]] than can be found in the world. They scarcely leave their [[Underdark]] kingdoms, and have engaged in hot and cold conflicts with the [[Mountain Dwarves]] for centuries.

=== Origins ===
Hailing originally from the deeps of the world, they have slowly worked their way upwards towards the surface. Whilst the ancient [[Dwarves|Dwarven]] kingdoms spent much of their time warring with each other, they have transitioned to frequent conflict with the [[Drow]] and other intelligent races of the [[Underdark]].

=== Appearance ===
Short and stout, [[Dwarves]] have a much shorter statute than most races and share many features with [[Humans]] with rounded ears and fair skin complexion. [[Dwarves]] may be considered short amongst most races, they still stand noticeably taller than the [[Smallfolk]] races, at around 5'.

=== Religion ===
[[Dwarves]] are typically aligned to [[Religion & Deities|Gods]] based on their specific lineage. [[Hill Dwarves]] typically lean towards [[Mekash]], with their thrifty and mercantile tendencies, whilst [[Mountain Dwarves]] tend to revere [[Dulgram]], [[Rhurdiwynn]] and [[Skolgal]] for their affinity to their mountain homes and great mineshafts.

=== Homeland ===
The great stronghold of [[Kingdom of Ebonmount|Ebonmount]] serves as the main homeland of the [[Dwarves]]. Many do find themselves also committing their loyalty to one of the five [[Lesser Kings]], who command the smaller realms that surround [[Kingdom of Ebonmount|Ebonmount]].
