Dwarf

Dwarves (ドワーフ) are a race of short, stocky mountain-dwelling humanoids.

Background
Dwarves are one of the 'Human Type' races that YGGDRASIL players used as their game avatar. Dwarves are also found in the New World. They live mostly in the underground of mountainous regions, working in their mines. The largest known dwarven society is the Dwarf Kingdom which is located within the depths of the Azerlisia Mountains.

The dwarves in the Azerlisia Mountains are not discriminated against, as is the case for the other non-human races. This is due to their trade relations with the Baharuth Empire.

Types

 * Hill Dwarves
 * Dark Dwarves

Appearance
Dwarves are shorter than standard human with an average height of around 130cm. They all have large beards that go all the way down to their stomach. Dwarves all had short legs and their physique is large with large amount of developed muscles due to their lifestyle of digging and mining. They normally have casual, easygoing attitudes.

Abilities
Dwarves are renowned for their abilities as blacksmiths. Their craftsmanship in magical artifacts is considered to be unparalleled by any human or elf. Dwarves are excellent mathematicians as well due to their excessive calculations when it came to mining and tunneling. However, due to their short legs they are not prone to be fast runners. All Dwarves are born with the latent ability known as Dark Vision that allows them to see in the dark in close ranges.

They are also not immune to sickness as many dwarves, especially those who work in the mines suffer from an illness known as Whitesnow Sickness, an illness that causes the skin to turn white and prone to violent coughs, due to inhaling excessive dust particles in the air.

Trivia

 * Dwarves are said to be always feasting and for their love of wine.
 * Zenberu has mentioned about his experience with Dwarves during his travels to Zaryusu.
