Dwarves, Ardanian (3.5e Race)
Dwarves
Dwarves are stout adventurers and more skilled in all manner of construction than any other race in Ardania. Their settlements are appropriately described as "fortresses", complete with an auto-firing ballista. Dwarven knowledge of mechanics and metallurgy is unparalleled in all Ardania. They dislike elves and gnomes.
Physical Description
Dwarves are short, standing only 3 to 4 feet in height, but are also nearly as wide and huskily built. They wear long beards, and their hair is generally red, blond, or brown, although a few dwarves are known to have black hair. Despite their short stature, their hands, feet, head, and all other body parts despite torso and limbs are nearly proportional to a human. Dwarves, male and female, are almost always wearing armor.
