Mountain Dwarf

"Mountain Dwarves, unlike the average depth-dwelling dwarf, are hardier and taller than most dwarves, known to inhabit higher up lands and mountains."

Depth Dwellers
A special culture of some of the most powerful of dwarves. Depth Dwellers have an obsession for exploring the very deepest depths of the earth, and some have taken to exploring the Abyss.

Stonecutters
A culture of dwarves who have dedicated to the expansion of their secret empires underneath the land. Their skill has been said to surpass that of anyone else to roam the lands.

Highrise
True to their name, the Highrise are made up of mountain dwarves who inhabit the upper limits of the land. They tend to be the lone wolves among dwarves, often living large portions of their lives in quiet solitude, learning the lay of the land over

Physical Appearance
"Mountain Dwarves are said to be not too different from their dwarven cousins. They maintain the same, somewhat-bulky, stout frame, but are said to be taller than most dwarves, their heights averaging at near 4 1/2 feet. Their skin, while not always a dead giveaway, is more often than not lighter."

Positive Traits
Tool Proficiency: Dwarves often find themselves to have a much easier time using basic and professional tools.

Neutral Traits
Stout: Mountain dwarves are no exception to the rule of dwarves and bulk. They are heavier built than other races, but more resilient to both physical and magical attacks as a result.

Long Haul: Partly to do with their long lives, mountain dwarves can be slow to trust the intentions of others, especially those of another race. While they are capable of learning to get along with others quickly, they often live by the saying “The difference between an acquaintance and a friend is about a hundred years.”

Negative Traits
Greedy: Similar to many dwarves, mountain dwarves, despite their wiseness, are said to be a greedy folk, often finding it hard to pass up the allure of something shiny in their path.
