Dwarves, Albion (3.5e Race)
From D&D Wiki
Contents |
[edit] Dwarves
Dwarves are a serious minded race of smiths and craftsmen. They are perhaps the greatest smiths in the land, and the weapons and armor they create are unrivaled. They are a honorable and noble people, with a long and proud history.
[edit] Personality
Dwarves are honest, hard-working, and reliable, although they are also suspicious and slightly xenophobic. They are also a brave and noble people, never hesitating to throw themselves into the midst of combat.
[edit] Physical Description
Dwarves are short and stout, standing at around four feet in height yet weighing the same or more then the average human. They have disproportionately large hands, feet, torso, and head, and have red, blond, or black hair. Their eyes are usually brown. All male dwarves wear beards.
[edit] Relations
Dwarves get along well with humans, gnomes, and golems, but less well with elves, sirens, chasers, changelings, nagas, and cambions. They are basically indifferent to everyone else.
[edit] Alignment
Most dwarves are of a lawful alignment, because of their well organized society.
[edit] Lands
The dwarven lands are beneath the surface of Albion, deep in the caverns that also house the gnomes. They sometimes live on the surface, if so usually dwelling in Albion Proper.
[edit] Religion
Dwarves worship Vacun, the god of Smiths and Craftsmen, and Macha, goddess of War and Retribution. While Macha is also worshiped by some other races, notably gnomes and trolls, Vacun is exclusively a dwarf god.
[edit] Language
Dwarves speak Dwergar and Albionian, as well as sometimes learning the languages of their allies and enemies.
