Dwarves

Dwarves originate from the Calm Sea, a place where it's said no wind blows and no waves roll. Ancient dwarves claimed these lands and seas the only way possible: through strength of arm and strength of oar. They rowed. 
Many dwarves pride themselves on being the best rowers on their boat, in their town, or even in the whole damn world in their eyes. It's a deep source of honour for the dwarves who choose a migratory life at sea, those known as Ironoars.
At four-and-a-half feet on average, the dwarves are the largest of the small folk. They're the hardiest too, with some able to dive to crushing depths with ease, holding their breath for many minutes at a time in search of sea treasures and food both. Such sea diving clans are known as Reefbeards.
Note: Ironoars = mountain dwarves. Reefbeards = hill dwarves.
