Dwarves

**Dwarves** are one of the races in *Pathfinder: Kingmaker*.

## Lore

**Dwarves** are a stoic but stern race, ensconced in cities carved from the hearts of mountains and fiercely determined to repel the depredations of savage races like *orcs* and goblins. More than any other race, the **dwarves** have acquired a reputation as dour and humorless craftsmen of the earth. It could be said that **dwarven** history shapes the dark disposition of many **dwarves**, for they reside in high mountains and dangerous realms below the earth, constantly at war with *giants*, goblins, and other such horrors.

**Dwarves** are a short and stocky race, and stand about a foot shorter than most humans, with wide, compact bodies that account for their burly appearance. Male and female **dwarves** pride themselves on the length of their hair, and men often decorate their beards with a variety of clasps and intricate braids. A clean-shaven male **dwarf** is a sure sign of
madness, or worse — no one familiar with their race trusts a *beardless* **dwarf**.
