The dwarven reputation for honesty is respected and admired in most communities. Of course, dwarves are also slow to trust non-dwarves, as they tend to view them as flighty, fickle, and not to be trusted. Dwarves, due to their strong wills, make good Sorcerers, mostly from the Ancient School of Eternal Stone, in Garos. Some dwarves prefer other elements, like nature, water, or shadow. If willing to risk an ocean passage, they also make excellent time sorcerers.
Dwarves are short, stocky, and somewhat coarse of appearance.
A dwarf's beard is a point of pride, they make certain to comb and clean it as necessary. Both genders have beards, which leads to confusion amongst non-dwarves. Dwarves have no problems telling each other apart, however. Due to the dwarven body structure, it is difficult for them to swim, but not impossible for short periods. Dwarves usually wear garments of cured leather and a layer of chainmail over that, although the chainmail is optional.
