A short, sturdy creature fond of drink and industry.

Dwarves are "intelligent" humanoid Template:L that live in Template:Les carved from Template:Ls, and are very well known for their stout appearance and the big Template:Ls covering their faces. They are the featured Template:L of Template:L and are also one of the races playable in Template:L. They are mainly interested in acquiring wealth and rare Template:Ls, especially Template:L. Their most hated enemies are the Template:L Template:Ls.

Dwarven Template:L become adults at their twelfth birthday, and live to around 150-170 years of age. Compared to humans, Dwarves are stronger, shorter, stockier, and hairier (dwarven children are born with beards). They are tough with a heightened sense of their surroundings and are highly focused and intellectual creatures.

Dwarves are the only race that sometimes enters a Template:L when beset by many foes, which gives them combat bonuses. They are also Template:L-dependent and work slowly if deprived of it for long. Some specimens have been known to develop an Template:L.

In accounts of exploits or Template:L, the generic name Urist is sometimes used in place of any specific dwarf name. Several nicknames for dwarves also exist; one of the more common is dorf, but there are others that are less polite.

Dwarves in Fortress Mode

As a Template:L race, Dwarves will send a Template:L every year in the Template:L. Template:Ls will be more attracted to your fortress as your wealth grows, prompted by the stories of your wealth and the goods that the dwarven traders bring back from your fortress.

Living Among Them

You cannot start your fortress where another fortress exists.

Dwarves in Adventure Mode

Dwarven fortresses do not have any Template:Ls, but usually have a variety of fighters to recruit. You can receive quests from their monarch at their capital city.

Dwarven characters always start with Template:L or Template:L Template:Ls and Template:L, making them the best-equipped race. Unfortunately,Template:L armor is too large for them to wear, and humans are the only race with shops, so all armor upgrades will have to come from looting elves, goblins, and other dwarves. Most human weapons must be wielded two-handed by dwarves, due to their size.

Mythology

In real-life mythology, dwarves are much like humans, but generally prefer to live underground and/or in mountainous areas. In their fortresses they have accumulated treasures of Template:L, Template:L, and Template:L, and pass their time fabricating costly weapons and armor. They are famed Template:Ls and Template:L, although, like humans, they can specialise in any number of trades. Generally shorter than humans, they are on average stockier and hairier, and usually sport full beards. Though slow runners and poor riders, dwarves are excellent warriors and defenders of their strongholds. Dwarves have the ability to forge magical items, which shows off their culture's and species natural craftsmanship. For instance, dwarvish smiths created some of the greatest and most powerful items of mythology, which inspired the in-game Template:Ls and Template:Ls.
