Having lived most of their long lives in underground caves and caverns, dwarves have developed the ability to see in the dark. From the time they are able to hold a pick in their chubby little hands, dwarves have mined the riches out of the earth. Their short, rotund shape make them less dexterous than humans and their workaholic since childhood nature makes them a little less intelligent. But the strength and vitality of Dwarves are to be admired, being able to take on two men at once and hold their ale much better than the average man. Dwarves tend to view elves as tree huggers which they have no use for. There are a few stories of some dwarves and elves working together to take down tougher foes, though the truce is usually short lived.
