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 />
