Valley Dwarves are thought to be cousins <strong>of</strong><br />

their Mountain dwelling kin the Mountain<br />

Dwarves. Like their relatives the Valley<br />

Dwarves are a hardy and long lived race. They<br />

are naturally more sturdy and resilient than most<br />

other races in <strong>Fenorra</strong> and live an average <strong>of</strong> 400<br />

years. Physically the Valley Dwarves resemble<br />

their Mountain cousins as well sharing their<br />

stocky appearance the men having full beards<br />

and both the men and women having streaks <strong>of</strong><br />

brown and green hues in their hair.<br />

This is where the resemblance ends however.<br />

Valley Dwarves are a peaceful and private<br />

people by nature and tend not to stray far from<br />

their villages. Despite their rugged appearance<br />

Valley Dwarves shy away from battle and the<br />

few who do take up arms have a difficult time<br />

mastering their weapons and find bulky armor<br />

far too encumbering to move. They have a<br />

natural affinity for the alchemical arts and an<br />

innate understanding <strong>of</strong> the herbs that grow on<br />

their land and prefer to use these natural means<br />

to protect themselves when in need.<br />

Valley Dwarves are a naturally stubborn race,<br />

opinionated in every way and form. However,<br />

unlike their mountain counterparts, the Dwarves<br />

tend to get into shouting matches or drinking<br />

contests, never resorting to physical violence to<br />

settle an argument. They prefer to outwit the<br />

opponent, or rather, see who has the stronger<br />

constitution. This innate stubbornness gives<br />

Valley Dwarf<br />

them an almost supernatural resistance to magics<br />

that affect the mind.<br />

As their name implies the Valley Dwarves live<br />

in the valleys <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fenorra</strong>. The mountains that<br />

surround them not only act as a natural defense<br />

against invading forces it also has segregated<br />

them from most other races in <strong>Fenorra</strong>. This has<br />

led to the common belief that Valley Dwarves<br />

are a shy and timid people as they are rarely<br />

seen outside <strong>of</strong> their small villages. This<br />

however is a misconception, Valley Dwarves are<br />

a private people but if pressed can be the most<br />

tenacious <strong>of</strong> people on <strong>Fenorra</strong>.<br />
