(UNPLAYABLE RACE)
Description:
Deep dwarves, known as duergar in their own tongue, reside in the labyrinthine province of Duernid in the subterranean realm of Vechnost. They are devolved cousins of the dwarves who dwell in the surface realms; mutations are common and they have even more diminutive statures and exaggerated features than typical dwarves. Most deep dwarves look repulsive and are equally twisted in their character. It is rare for a deep dwarf to have a concept of a being other than themselves.
Their underground territory stretches beyond the surface continent of Norrik; only it's less populous edge is beneath Norrik's realms. The deep dwarves would call their territory a province, but it hardly amounts to one in actual practice. Rape, murder and theft are all common acts in the province of Duernid. Foreigners would be wise to stay beyond the borders of their cavernous nation.
They are scavengers, carrion of the great underlands that are Vechnost. Simpler minded than most civilized races, the deep dwarves are however blessed with great reserves of both mental and physical fortitude. These traits coincide with a long lifespan, but no gifts of youthfulness or beauty. Deep dwarves are nigh-all greedy and self-centered but are known to join together against an outside threat. While they may act brash in a company, they are not known for any bravery of their own volition.
Physically they appear much as devolved, monstrified versions of their surface dwelling cousins. They have massive, bulbous noses and round heads with beady eyes that are attuned to sight in the dark. Most deep dwarves value physical possessions over nearly all else, collecting trinkets, rocks and jewels that might be viewed as valueless in other societies, and they often adorn themselves with only that which they can find. Ancient rags and banners of long ended factions are used as implements of clothing among many in Duernid society.
