Dwarves

The Dwarves are a stocky race of people, believed to be ancient and knowledgable, almost as much as they are vengeful and unforgiving.

Word has it the Dwarves are found mostly on the western and southern parts of the world, working with other races in their cities. Smithing is what they do best, and folk go to these Dwarves (known as Falathik) when a craftsmanship requires certain quality.

Appearance and demeanor
The Dwarves range from 4 to 4 1/2 feet tall and are really heavy, weighing as much as 400 pounds. The skin can be anything from sandstone fair to granite gray or tan, while their eyes can be anything but black. Hair length and style is an individual's matter of taste, but all have long braided beards, though never longer than their Thane's. Hair colour also comes in any color, except for black.

The Falathik appear to have their own language, but are exceptionaly fluent in the ''Tradespeak. ''They always hold a friendly demeanor, no matter who the customer is, though all can admit that the Falathik hold their pride really close to their hearts and can only take so much ignorance.

History
Little or nothing is known about the Falathik history. Most of these crafters and smithfolk prefer not to talk about such matters and avoid or deflect conversations around their past or origin.
