Editing Harem Knights: Races (section)

==Dwarves==
Dwarves are short, stout, well built mountain folk. While other underground dwelling races live deep beneath the earth, dwarves tend to build directly into mountains, rarely going far below the bases of their mountains in their diggings, at least in terms of living space, for mining, there are few places a dwarf will not go.

Dwarves are built low and tough, a TALL dwarf will clock in at about 5 feet, and that is considered freakish. Most dwarves are at about chest height (~4 foot) to your average human. Contrary to popular belief, dwarves are not universally bearded, and their women tend to be as well shaved as your average human woman.

Dwarven sexuality is hard to quantify. While looks -do- play a role in how they choose who they are attracted to, as does personality, these two facets play a MUCH smaller role in their attraction than it does in other races. No, what a dwarf looks for in a mate is ABILITY. A dwarf who is a master of his craft is considered to be a stud by all of his fellows, and rather than inviting a partner back to the bed room, they are far more likely to invite them to their private workshop.

Dwarven society places massive importance upon tradition, loyalty, and the APPEARANCE of honor. You can be a backstabbing scum bag, but if no one can prove it, you'll only be disliked. God help you if it is ever proven that you are a treacherous snake, dwarves tend to lynch one another over that. But above all, most important to all dwarves, is the ability to get shit done. Proficiency in a craft is not based upon how you do it, but that you get it done as efficiently and cost effectively as possible, to the maximum result. In this end, Dwarves have found a surprising amount of admiration for the Outerrealmers of /TG/ given our industrial/digital age take upon most tasks (they took to the concept of the assembly line like bears to honey), and it is possibly the reason behind the alliance between /TG/ and the Ranges.
